I didn't compile libxml2. I got it from Red Hat rpms.

libxml2-2.7.6-21.el6_8.1.x86_64
libxml2-devel-2.7.6-21.el6_8.1.x86_64

[download]

Just figured it out! I think this is a bug in the Makefile.PL. I added some print statements as suggested and ran it. It seems the makefile was only looking at the first '-I' and not all of them. I had '-I/usr/include/libxml2' as the third one. When I moved it to first, it ran successfully!

Thanks to everyone for their help! :)
