Problem compiling gnumeric-0.99.0

[Ronald Odle <ronodle kiva net>]

When I try to compile 0.99.0 from source, make breaks off with the
message:

gui-clipboard.o:  In function 'x_selection_handler':
gui-clipboard.o (.text+0x53f): undefined reference to 'xmlFree'

with similar messages for plugin.o and sheet-object.o.

Running glibc-2.2.4 with gcc 2.95.3.  libxml is up to date (1.8.16) and
I get the same failure when compiling on Mandrake and Caldera based
installations.  Had no trouble compiling 0.75 and 0.76 on the same
installations.

Configure didn't register a hiccup.

Would be very grateful for any suggestions.

Cheers,
Ron
