in thread Warning (mostly harmless): No library found for -lxml2

This might be a stupid question, but are the development-packages (=header files) also installed? I don't know about MacOS, but in many if not most Unix/Linux systems, the headers come in extra packages, so as to not clutter the harddisks of the average consumer.

    Sorry, I should have been clearer about this. Yes, both the headers and the libraries are installed, as is shown by a later successful make test (although I have to go through another bit of detail to make that work — details to follow elsewhere in the thread).
