Well, /usr/lib64/libxml2.so is in a system location. The --with-libxml2-prefix option was introduced for the case where you don't have the required libs in the system location. Additionally, the situation on your system is inconsistent: you have system libs installed in PREFIX/lib64 (since this is an SUSE Linux distro) and others installed in PREFIX/lib (as you gave a --prefix but no --exec-prefix option). --with-libxml2-prefix does not support such inconsistent uses. Please try the alternative to this option instead: configure with the options CPPFLAGS="... -I/data_local/appli_local/MTS/dev-tools/spack/opt/spack/linux-suse_linux11-x86_64/gcc-4.3/libxml2-2.9.4-3xzzczxchvreigbnm5ar6c7pq6xfbq6h/include" and LDFLAGS="-L/data_local/appli_local/MTS/dev-tools/spack/opt/spack/linux-suse_linux11-x86_64/gcc-4.3/libxml2-2.9.4-3xzzczxchvreigbnm5ar6c7pq6xfbq6h/<lib or lib64> ..." instead.
