You should first initialize the library, using the LIBXML_TEST_VERSION
macro. Still don't forget to add xmlCleanupParser() at the very end:


#include <libxml/parser.h>

int main()
{
    xmlParserCtxtPtr ctxt;

    LIBXML_TEST_VERSION;

    ctxt = xmlNewParserCtxt();
    xmlInitParserCtxt(ctxt);

    xmlFreeParserCtxt(ctxt);

    xmlCleanupParser();

    return 0;
}


I suggest you should look at the examples too:
