I think the problem with dependencies might be my pet hate for many linux distributions. You think you may have installed libxml2, you installed the package for it from apt, but no you have not, or at least not fully. Normally there are separate dev packages for the library headers (don't know what the name will be but it might be like libxml2-dev ).
There are a handful of distributions like ArchLinux where they do not package the headers separate, but most like debian, ubuntu, fedora and their derivatives do.

Vic, Please resend the link to the Vinux suport list. I can't find that lmessage. Thanks. You have now run into my favorite gotcha, pkgconfig . Type the following. export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig To make sure that you don't have to type this again, add it as the last line to your .bashrc file.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. I tried installing a package called libxml-2.0 and nothing was found.
