I'm currently compiling (at the ./configure step at the moment) 5.03 on
Redhat 9 and ran into something that confused me. I got the error
message included below.

[root@****]# ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
--with-gd --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql41
--with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql41/bin/mysql_config
.. . .
Configuring extensions
checking whether to enable LIBXML support... yes
checking libxml2 install dir... no
configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2
installation.


That, in itself, isn't too confusing, it's looking for something that's
not there. Simple. I've been trying to figure out a few things though,
and could use outside help:

1) Why is it trying to enable LIBXML support?
2) Which extension is it trying to load? DOM? DOM XML? Something else?

Upon review I think I'd like to compile in DOM, but the manual (
http://www.php.net/dom ) doesn't mention anything about how to compile
it in.

Thanks,
Chris
