I hope this one is sufficient:

tobi ~ $ /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/libc.so.6 | head -1
GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.2 (20030827), by Roland
  McGrath et al.

I see. How can I find out if it was autodetected?
(Another tool did not compile because there seem to be two versions on
my machine, see [libz].) Is zlib == libz?

libxml2-2.6.2/config.log:
(again, I can send you any of the generated files if it helps)

Does this mean configure didn't find zlib?

I see, I thought the DTD should have been supplied with the package.

I recently switched to Linux and I'm still in the process of setting
up my environment. The /etc/xml/catalog that came with SuSE
9.0 Professional is an empty skeleton, I don't know why.

Perhaps
#!/usr/bin/env perl
would help with some issues of this type?

Anyways, it's at the location you list above:

tobi ~ $ which perl
/usr/bin/perl
tobi ~ $ /usr/bin/perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.1 [...]
