[xml] can't find libxml/xmlmemory.h and libxml/parser.h files

Hi,

I am trying to use libxml routines in my code to parse xml documents. I got the tarball from the site and ran configure and make commands. I didn't run all the commands. 

Then copied the generated libxml2.a file and /include/*.h files to  separate folders.

Now, I ran the compiler as shown below.

gcc -o xmlt -I/sample/lib/libxml xmltest.c -L/sample/lib -lxml2

I was assuming that it would pick up header files from libxml folder where I placed them and link the libxml2.a from the lib folder where I placed it. Obviously I was wrong because the compiler is showing the following errors. I would appreciate any pointers to the problem and a solution. As for the code, I am using the same file as given at the url: http://xmlsoft.org/tutorial/apc.html

xmltest.c:4:30: libxml/xmlmemory.h: No such file or directory
