If you used the default options for configure, the install prefix is
probably /usr, not /usr/local.
This means that libxml2 headers are in /usr/include/libxml2/libxml
The usual way for using libxml2 headers is to specify -I
/usr/include/libxml2 and

#include <libxml/parser.h>
or
#include <libxml/reader.h>
or some other header.

Note that there is no libxml.h installed. You cannot include libxml.h
in your program.
You need to include some other header
(parser.h/tree.h/reader.h/SAX2.h), depending of the libxml2
functionality you want to use.

Hope this helps,
Csaba
