Besides the -I<path_to_libxml_headers>, you'll need to specify the
library, such as -lxml2 (libxml2). Like Daniel said you may use
xml2-config for these.

In the Makefile you can do:

CPPFLAGS=$(shell xml2-config --cflags) # or -I/usr/include (for example)
LDFLAGS=$(shell xml2-config --libs) # or -L/usr/lib -lxml2 (for example)
CC=g++

all: read-it
read-it: read-it.o
read-it.o: read-it.cpp read-it.hpp
