here is the ouput : checking for xml2-config... /usr/bin/xml2-config checking libxml2 version... 2.6.11 configure: error: libxml2 2.4.19 or later required !!!

Obscure. Could you please run these two lines: (from configure script) `which xml2-config` --version should be 2.6.11 in your case if test `echo 2.6.11 | awk -F. '{print $1 * 10000 + $2 * 100 + $3;}'` -lt 20419; then echo bad; else echo ok; fi should return ok, if your awk and bash calculates correctly. awk --version
still obscure since we got no reply to the right question btw ;) (or just ask for the relevant config.log next time)
