In Mac OS X (snow leopard) have libxml2 installed in /usr/local and I'm trying to install XML::LibXML, but for some reason the Makefile can't find it. I need some help. Here is the output when I run Makefile.PL. 
perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/usr/local/lib -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -liconv -
+lm' INC='-I/usr/local/include/libxml2'
Set up build environment without MacOSX10.4u SDK (will build native bi
+naries)
enable native perl UTF8
looking for -lxml2... no
looking for -llibxml2... no
libxml2 not found
Try setting LIBS and INC values on the command line
Or get libxml2 from 
  http://xmlsoft.org/
If you install via RPMs, make sure you also install the -devel
RPMs, as this is where the headers (.h files) are.

So I ran with DEBUG turned on & here is what I see:

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
