You aren't linking with libxml.

My guess is that what you need to do is update to a recent version of the
make package, remove config.cache, re-run configure in the make package, and
re-install it so that it finds libxml.

Watch the output from configure to see that it finds libxml ok.  I'm running
with an rpm of libxml 2.1.1, and that works fine - it may be that configure
failed to find your libxml if you installed in a non-standard location.
If configure can't find your installation, and you can't be bothered to work
out why, you can always grab an rpm and install it.
