[Pan-users] Trouble configuring Pan 0.11.4

[Geek]

Hello!

I am a regular Pan user of 0.11.2 (from dpkg) on Debian woody. libc6 and glibc
prevent me from using anything newer. 

I am experienced with building and installing from source on this distro.

OK, here we go with my problem.

Either Pan 0.11.3 or 0.11.4 (I need yEnc!), I get the following error during
./configure:

error: libxml 1.8.11 or higher is needed.  RPM users also need libxml-devel.

I currently have libxml 1.8.17 as well as 2.4.19.

I tried the option ./configure --with-gnome-libs=/usr/lib to no avail.

It's finding it, it's just not reading the version correctly.

I have symlinked libxml.so, libxml.so.0 and libxml.so.1 to libxml-1.8.17

What am I doing wrong here?

Thank you,
