Here's one way:

moseley@bumby:~$ ldd `which swish-e` | grep libxml
        libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0x40024000)


Here's another way:

moseley@bumby:~/swish-e$ fgrep -i xml config.log
configure:23859: checking for xml2-config
configure:23877: found /usr/bin/xml2-config
configure:23890: result: /usr/bin/xml2-config
configure:23916: checking for libxml libraries >= 2.4.3
ac_cv_path_XML2_CONFIG=/usr/bin/xml2-config
LIBXML2_CFLAGS='-I/usr/include/libxml2'
LIBXML2_LIB='-L/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -lm'
LIBXML2_OBJS='parser.lo'
LIBXML_REQUIRED_VERSION='2.4.3'
XML2_CONFIG='/usr/bin/xml2-conf


And another:

moseley@bumby:~/swish-e$ fgrep -i xml src/acconfig.h
/* Libxml2 support included */
#define HAVE_LIBXML2

That would make me think it wasn't linked with libxml2.  The program
xml2-config must be in your path when running the configure script.

moseley@bumby:~/swish-e$ xml2-config --libs         
-L/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -lm

Yep, that happens in the parser.c code which is linked in when libxml2
is available.

As above, you need to have xml2-config in your path for it to be
detected.
