libxmlpp-2.10.0-r1 install all include files in /usr/include/libxml++-2.6/libxml++/ with no symlink to /usr/include/libxml++/ The problem is that libxml++.h want to include /usr/include/libxml++/something.h !

You shouldn't be including <libxml++-2.6/libxml++/libxml++.h> i bet, but <libxml++/libxml++.h> and let pkgconfig handle finding the includes. Also give the _real_ error message next time, that is easier for us.
Oops, didn't see the pkg-config... this works fine, thanks and sorry !
