[BioC] XML package cannot be installed

[David Westergaard]

Dear Wayne,

XML is complaining it cannot find xml2-config (From  Cannot find
xml2-config). You need to have the libxml2 package installed on your
system. If you are running a debian flavor, you can get it from
aptitude. I'm not familiar with redhat, but I guess it should be in
whatever packaging system it uses.

Best,
David
