The very first thing I'd check is that you installed the libxml-devel
package and NOT the libxml2-devel package. Gnucash uses libxml 1.

If that isn't the problem, have a look at the config.log file in the top
level of your source tree - at the bottom of that file you should see
the actual compile/link that causes the error, and you can often find a
more meaningful error there. Feel free to respond to this list with what
you find if it isn't immediately obvious.
