Well, in point of fact the library is *not* there so far as configure
can tell --- there's no libxml2.so or libxml2.a file. And in any case
we're not going to put in anything as platform-specific as suggesting
that you might need a -devel RPM (to say nothing of the similar but not
identical packaging conventions on other platforms). I think that's
just something you have to know about if you're building software on Red
Hat-based platforms.
