It's far simpler. You just didn't configured libxml2 properly in your
configure.ac
Add something like that there:
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XML2, [libxml-2.0 >= 2.8.0])
and then in your Makefile.am
AM_CPPFLAGS = $(XML2_CFLAGS)
Some historical context:
Many long running projects behave like that w.r.t. headers. It allows to
have two (or more) major, incompatible versions installed in parallel.
Before libxml2 there was just libxml/gnome-xml. And there was real need to
have they running in parallel. Similarly behaves GLib (glib-2.0), for
example. And because of just the same reason.
