I did a web search and found a suggestion to install libxml2-devel and did, but the rpm installer (it only comes as an rpm as far as I can tell) can't find the libxml2 library, either. /usr/local/lib _is_ in ld.so.conf and I ran ldconfig just to be sure. I also tried running configure for libxslt with the --with-libxml-prefix= and --with-libxml-include-prefix= and --with-libxml-libs-prefix= args all set to places where the files existed to no avail.

  The version isnatlled by default with rpms on your system in /usr takes
over the one you installed manually in /usr/local.
  Overriding system default RPMs with non-rpms install is a very bad 
strategy. Upgrade your system rpms to match the version you need.
