Re: [xml] can't find libxml/xmlmemory.h and libxml/parser.h files

Hi Daniel,

Yes. It was a wrong way to install. But I went ahead with it as I thought all I needed was .a file and header files. Thanks much to Callum Gibson, did some manual edits in the header files so that they all can see each other and also added -lxml2 -lz and -lm on the command line to link appropriate libraries. Didn't need libiconv to make it work. 

It works ok now though I could have done without all the unnecessary steps. I guess the root of the problem was I couldn't figure a way to install the library in a custom folder. And the default folders were not accessible to me. Later searches of the configure script pointed to "make install exec_prefix=/foo" to install at a specified location.

Thank you very much...

regards,
Ravi
