Ok - you then probably have two installations of libxml2. Do a 
locate libxml2 and check if there are two paths. Remove the oldest
version. This may not be _that_ easy. If you find the old version in, say
/usr/local/lib, remove things there, but also in /usr/local/include and
possibly in /usr/local/share. There may also be a libxml2...pc file in
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig in that case.

This is just a precaution - some programs do not follow procedures and
will still find part of the older version.
