Thank you, that did the trick... half-way. (I would have sworn that I had
check for that lib, thanks for saving me from myself).

The new error is similar, and at the same place:

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

Now it does not complain about the missing lib, just that it can't link
to it. I ran ldconfig (after checking its usage). Still same error. Any
ideas on this one. Thank you all for your kindness.
