The libxml headers are designed to be able to co-exist (that is, both
libxml1 and libxml2 headers can be installed at the same time,
supposedly without screwing anything up).  I haven't looked, but I
suspect that one of these is happening.  1) /usr/lib/xmlConf.sh isn't
getting used, so the lib/header locations it provides aren't available. 
Or, 2) /usr/lib/xmlConf.sh is broken, and so can't be used.  HTH,
