Does this help you:

athos.cs.umass.edu% locate libxml.so
/RH9/usr/lib/libxml.so.1.8.17
/RH9/usr/lib/libxml.so.1
/RH9/usr/lib/libxml.so
/usr/lib/libxml.so.1.8.17
/usr/lib/libxml.so.1
/usr/lib/libxml.so
athos.cs.umass.edu% locate libxml2.so
/RH9/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
/RH9/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.5.4
/RH9/usr/lib/libxml2.so
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.5.10
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
/usr/lib/libxml2.so
athos.cs.umass.edu% rpm -qf /usr/lib/libxml2.so* /usr/lib/libxml.so*
libxml2-devel-2.5.10-6
libxml2-2.5.10-6
libxml2-2.5.10-6
libxml-devel-1.8.17-9.1
libxml-1.8.17-9.1
libxml-1.8.17-9.1

Appearently, yes, there are two *different* libraries: libxml and libxml2.
