ATTENTION!!!

libxml2 for some reason installs its header files in a place where they are not really all that useful.
I am actually not sure whether it is really libxml2 or whether this is a RedHat thing. However on every RedHat I have seen,
the libxml2 headers were in /usr/include/libxml2/libxml where they are not realy useful. Even an -I did not help,
since it then fails to resolve files included from within these headers.

I will bring this to Daniel Veillard's attention some time soon!

What helped me when trying to work around that was to make a symbolic link to the headers:

cd /usr/include
ln -s libxml2/libxml libxml

Then everything worked. This is definitely something you should try. If configure faults on missing libxml headers.

Even if your headers are somewhere completely else, this might help.
