Thanks !
"sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev" solved the PHP configuration error for Knoppix 6.0.1

I had the same problem with Fedora 10 - 64 bits.
What I did.

yum search libxml2-devel

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
=================================================== Matched: libxml2-devel ===================================================
libxml2-devel.i386 : Libraries, includes, etc. to develop XML and HTML applications
libxml2-devel.x86_64 : Libraries, includes, etc. to develop XML and HTML applications

yum install libxml2-devel.x86_64

It works!

Cheers!

i ran into the same problem with php 5.3 sources. i tried downloading the libxml2 sources and building them but it fails on nanohttp...

the recommendation to apt-get install libxml2-dev worked the best on ubuntu
