You definitely have to install libxml2-dov . libxml2 should be installed
by default. I recommend building both liblouis and liblouisutdml from
their repositories. Any rpms are likely to be worfully out of date.
Remember to use the liblouis git repository. The svn repository is now
also out of date, unless someone updated it to be a read-only copy of
the git one. To build from the repositories you will also have to
install automake, autoconf and libtool . After all this the value of
PKG_CONFIG_PATH that I gave you should work.
Incidentally, Ubuntu seems to have simplified all this, though you still
have to install libxml2-dev and the gnu autotools packages.
