The xml2-config script installed by LIBXML could not be found on your system.
You didn't specify your distribution, but for example in Debian/Ubuntu
you need to
install the libxml2-dev package:

> apt-file search xml2-config
libxml2-dev: /usr/bin/xml2-config
libxml2-dev: /usr/share/man/man1/xml2-config.1.gz
> sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
