Yes. You need some C libraries and some of the glue that they use (it's not
like libxml2 has been rewritten in Haskell; we FFI to it). You can get
pkg-config and libxml2 from MacPorts or Homebrew; Apple does not ship
pkg-config and ships only an out of date version of libxml2 --- with the
pkg-config data that allows other programs to more easily link to it
stripped.
