It appears your problem is related to "include libraries".  The
definition of the xmlID structure is given in libxml/tree.h.  The
include file which comes with libxml2-2.6.4 (in the subdirectory
include/libxml/tree.h) defines that structure to include the element
'doc', but that was a fairly recent change.  Older versions of the
file don't have it.

The fact that your compiler is issuing this error indicates that,
for some reason, it is using the older version rather than the one
within the distribution.  Without looking carefully at your
configuration [which I'm not particularly anxious to do ;-)], I
can't give you much more information.
