Re: configure: error: header file <libxml/parser.h> is required for XML support

Hey Dave,

Thanks for the quick reply. The path is correct:

# ls -l /usr/local/libxml2/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39556 Sep 15 10:07
/usr/local/libxml2/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h

I first used /usr/local/libxml2/include/ which did not work. Doing a find
for parser.h made me change the include path.
Could possibly the version of libxml2 be an issue: 2-2.7.7 ???

Thx: Peter
