If you configured libxml without arguments, then it will be in /usr/local/lib, and you would need to add -L/usr/local/lib to the link command. But again: you should NOT use libxml-1. Distros which ship this xml2 program use a patch to port it to use the current libxml2, which is already in the distro. Install cygport and libxml2-devel (and their dependencies) with setup.exe and use the attached .cygport to build xml2. Yaakov
