Thomas,

Thanks for you guidance. The following are installed:
> find /usr/lib -name 'libxml*'
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.4.23
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
/usr/lib/libxml.so.1
/usr/lib/libxml.so.1.8.17

But I am still getting the same error.

checking if guile needs our copy of (guile www)... yes
checking for gnome-config... /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-config
Unknown library `xml'
checking for xmlNewDoc in -lxml... Unknown library `xml'
no
configure: error: Could not link sample xml program

I ran ldconfig, didn't seem to do anything, but then again I'm unfamiliar
with it's usage.

Still hoping to get this to work.

John
