Thanks for the report.  Could I ask you to take a look at the 
"Makefile" generated by configure, in src/gui2?  In particular, 
there should be two lines starting

XML_CFLAGS = ...
XML_LIBS = ...

I wonder what it says on those lines, in your case?  (I'm 
puzzled, because it seems that if "configure" could not find 
valid values to fill out those lines, it ought to have failed; 
but if it did fill out those lines with valid values, "make" 
should not have failed).
