PHP5 Configure Error

At first PHP's configure script would fail saying that my version of libxml was too old. I eventually modified my sources.list (I'm using Debian 3.0r2) to use testing code instead of stable and apt-get'ed libxml so I am now upgraded above what PHP requires. However, I still have trouble around the same point as I did before (libxml stuff).

Here is the last part of the configure output (./configure --with-apxs --with-pgsql):

Configuring extensions
checking whether to enable LIBXML support... yes
checking libxml2 install dir... no
checking whether libxml build works... no
configure: error: build test failed. Please check the config.log for details.


I have also tried --with-libxml-dir but the only thing that did was "checking libxml2 install dir... yes"

And here is the relevant last part of the config.log:

configure:17846: checking whether to enable LIBXML support
configure:17893: checking libxml2 install dir
configure:18053: checking whether libxml build works

It appears as though I am missing a library as the linker is throwing errors (possibly I just have an incorrect directory?). Thanks for any help.where do you have libxml2 installed, and what does your complete configure command look like?Actually, I just fixed it and I'm not really sure how I knew to do what I did.

By the way, my complete configure was this:
./configure --with-apxs --with-pgsql
And I have libxml installed to /usr/lib.

I ended up having to apt-get remove libxml2-devel and then apt-get install libxml2-dev (I guess there are some problems between the two, I think the devel package is gnome related the dev package is general xml stuff). Anyways, once I did that, the configure worked fine.

Of course I am able to figure this out 5 minutes after I post it after spending several hours on it yesterday. Oh well, hopefully this will help someone in a similar situation.EDIT: nm, just read that your configure worked fine after snagging libxml2 :D
