[xml] libxml2 build problem

[Michael Ringe aachen utimaco de]

Trying to build libxml2-2.5.8 on Solaris 8, gcc 2.95.3

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pkg/LibXML-2.5.8
--with-zlib=/usr/local/pkg/ZLib-1.1.4

make fails when linking xmllint, because libz is missing

The problem could be fixed by adding

  Z_LIBS = -L/usr/local/pkg/ZLib-1.1.4 -lz      [was empty]
  LIBS = -lsocket -lnsl $(Z_LIBS)               [$(Z_LIBS) added]

to Makefile and examples/Makefile.

IMHO this should be fixed in the confgure script, but I am not
familiar with autoconv. Please contact me for any additional
information if needed.
