John,

probably you have to install libxml and/or run ldconfig. You should have
(this is on SuSE 8.0):

me@mybox:> find /usr/lib -name 'libxml*'
/usr/lib/libxml2.a
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.4.12
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libxml-2.0.pc
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
/usr/lib/libxml.so.1
/usr/lib/libxml.so.1.8.16
/usr/lib/libxml2.la
/usr/lib/libxml2.so

Your version numbers may vary.
