Thanks to the two replies (one off list), I found the problem. RedHat
7.2 has both libxml and libxml2. The include files for libxml are in
/usr/include/gnome-xml and the include files for libxml2 are in
/usr/include/libxml so the libxml2 include files are being found.

I'm still trying to figure out what the best solution is. I'm thinking
it may be easiest to just to rename directories while I compile and
then rename them back to their original names afterwards.
