Rats. This has always worked for me.

The configure script, at about line 15800, does the check by issuing the
command 'xml2-config --version'. It should be using the xml2-config in
/usr/local/bin, but it does several operations to determine exactly what
command to use, so something might be causing it to use an old one.

First, try entering '/usr/local/bin/xml2-config --version'. If that
reports the correct version, try 'locate xml2-config' to see if there is
another xml2-config on the system.

Archives are found a number of places, but the official one is
