Hi Adam, thanks for your reply.

<snip> checking libxml2 install dir... no configure: error: libxml2 version 2.5.10 or greater required. </snip>

Have you checked that the output of "xml2-config --version" says that you're running libxml2 2.5.10 or greater? I bet you need to upgrade libxml2.

I checked and you're right: it's version 2.4.19. Although the fact of an too old version, I thought --disable-xml would exclude the xml library from build. So why do I *always* get that error message?

But in fact it does not. I don't know whether this is a bug in the configure script or not but the workaround is --disable-all and then enable these options which you do need.
