Looks like that's <code>--with-libxml-dir=<i>path</i></code>. The online docs for PHP are woefully incomplete when it comes to listing all of the configuration options. I've found I generally have to run <code>configure</code> with the argument to have it dump all of its arguments, and then go through the list to be sure there isn't something I'm forgetting. And then write a little shell script to do run the tool, in case I need to tweak something and reconfigure again. Are you perhaps missing the configure option to set the location for libxml?
