That's normal, because for binary packages like rpm, deb and others the library (which is needed to run any program that uses the library) itself is separated from the header files (which are needed to compile a program that uses the library). So the INSTALL file wants to help the users using Linux distributions to easily find the correct packages (they often install only libfoobar and wonder why the compilation fails). So the short answer is: You want the libxml2-2.6.26.tar.gz, extract it and read the README and INSTALL files (if existant, don't know which of the two are there).
