************************ checking for xmlSetGlobalState in -lxml2... no configure: WARNING:
******************************************************
* Your libxml2 does not provide a setGlobalState. * You probably haven't patched it. Please read the manual, doc/manual/manual.txt. * Compilation will go on anyway - I will compile a small compatibility layer.

I suppose I should attempt to patch it as it suggests!
Thanks for your help so far. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
