Turns out xml2 has its own rules it plays by.. I needed to set --with-libxml-prefix=/usr/local/Gnome2.8.1 for config to pick up the xml2 configuration.

2. Configure is demanding that I have libxml2.6.8 library installed - error message is :-
checking for libxml libraries >= 2.6.8... configure: error: Version 2.6.6 found. You need at least libxml2 2.6.8 for this version of libxslt
whereas I have already compiled and installed package libxml2.6.8 into /usr/local/Gnome2.8.1, hence the above library concatenation question. Do I need to override this package dependency check ?


PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Gnome2.8.1/lib/pkgconfig ./configure ...
