Nope, definitely -lxml2.

$ xml2-config --libs -lxml2 -lz -lm

    Well, that definitely answers the library question. Changed to '-lxml2 -lz -lm,' but still can't seem to find the libxml header files. Really odd since I have that explicitly included.

      still can't seem to find the libxml header files.

      That's because your include flag is wrong too. It should be -I/usr/include/libxml2 and hopefully you'll be sorted.

        rats. That didn't work either. Thanks for the input. I have to run and get a firewall replaced. I'll check back in the morning.
