Which version of libxml2?
What method do you use to find out what version of libxml2 one uses on Linux? I have tried the following:
Code:
$ libxml2 -v
libxml2: command not found
$ libxml2 --version
libxml2: command not found
$ which libxml2
$

There is however a /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.7.5.

Depends on the linux, they're really not all alike, but if you have pkg-config:
Code:
$ pkg-config --libs libxml-2.0
-lxml2
$

pkg-config has taken over a lot of the fiddly weird scripts like sdl-config, gnome-config and so forth which used to litter up the system.
