do you have the .pc file installed ?
have you tried putting the directory containing the .pc into
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable ? (typicly /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig)

If you dont have libxml-2.0.pc on your system then you need libxml2-devel
installed; what does `rpm -qa | grep libxml` say ?

if you do apperently have a devel package; does it include the pc file ?
(rpm -ql libxml-devel-package-name | grep libxml-2.0.pc) ??

Cheers,
