Dave, Bill,

Thanks for the suggestions. The important package was
libxml2-dev, which of course installs libxm2.so and
the header files. 

Without that, no build errors, checks pass fine and
memory appetite is infinite. This still stikes me as a
bug somewhere - either the configure build script or
swish-e should complain more loudly about being build
without libxml2.



Cheers

Gertjan
