These 2 files are from the libxml package, which is a "must" (I think) in
any GNOME distribution. So, I assume these files are in the same directory
as the rest of the GNOME header files, and as I've seen in the two RedHat
machines I've got here, they are always installed to
$prefix/include/gnome-xml, so there should be no problem for a standard
installation, but maybe we should add a more specific check so that we know
exactly where these files are. Does anybody know of a way of doing so?

Yes that was a problem in the tarball. But it was only the gda-mysql-misc.h.
The gda.h file must be generated in-place by ORBit. If you get an error
about this when compiling, the makefile has an error. you should add, in
SOURCES, first all the ORBit generated files, so that they are there before
compiling the first file which includes gda.h
