I think there would be a conflict if you use libglade, since it probably
depends on the 1.8.X versions of libxml.

But if you're just using Glade-generated source you should be OK.

As someone else said, you should probably be determining the position
of the XML libs in configure.in

You could try adding something like this to configure.in:

dnl Get libxml flags & libs
AC_PATH_PROG(xml_config, xml-config)
if test "x$xml_config" = "x"; then
  AC_MSG_ERROR([*** xml-config not found.])
fi

XML_CFLAGS=`$xml_config --cflags 2>/dev/null`
XML_LIBS=`$xml_config --libs 2>/dev/null`
CPPFLAGS="$XML_CFLAGS $CPPFLAGS"
LIBS="$XML_LIBS $LIBS"
