Description:
------------
I am having difficulties getting past the libxml build check when configuring PHP.  I have installed libxml version 2.6.23 and am attempting to run the configure script for PHP version 5.1.2.  I have seen other bug reports similar to this, but none of the recommended fixes seem to address my problem.

Below is the complete configure commandline:

./configure --with-apxs=/home/dcenker/AMP/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysqli=/home/dcenker/AMP/mysql/bin/mysql_config --enable-mbstring --enable-soap --with-libxml-dir=/home/dcenker/libxml

where /home/dcenker/libxml/bin contains the xml2-config executable.  The last few lines of the config.log file are as follows:

Any help in resolving this installation issue would be greatly appreciated.  If you need any additional information, please let me know.  Thank you.

Actual result:
--------------
<<<begin config.log excerpt>>>

configure:18440: checking whether to enable LIBXML support
configure:18487: checking libxml2 install dir

I tried with 5.0.4, 5.1.0, 5.1.2 and from latest snapshots too. All the time I am stuck with the same problem. No help anywhere in web.

Make sure the path to the libraries is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

I'm on FreeBSD, so maybe the fix is different, but:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
did not seem to affect it...

I checked that
libxml2 is in /usr/local/lib

I'm compiling from CVS, in a different directory, for development purposes.

After installaing MySQL from the downloaded MySQL source code (compile and install);  the libxml2 problem disappeared on solaris 8 . Previously I had binary install where libxml2 error was consistent.
