In your case, this is likely possible using: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-01-17 10:04:45] 823688826 at qq dot com [root@c9dd73ba9bad php-7.4.1]# ./configure --help | grep libxml --without-libxml Build without LIBXML support --with-expat XML: use expat instead of libxml2 --with-expat XMLRPC-EPI: use expat instead of libxml2 No configuration found in config ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-01-17 10:02:45] 823688826 at qq dot com Configuring extensions checking io.h usability... no checking io.h presence... no checking for io.h... no checking for strtoll... yes checking for atoll... yes checking whether to build with LIBXML support... yes checking for libxml-2.0 >= 2.7.6... no configure: error: Package requirements (libxml-2.0 >= 2.7.6) were not met: Package 'libxml-2.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBXML_CFLAGS and LIBXML_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
