Don't worry about it, thanks very much for replying.
I could only get the libxml version on R 3.0.3 (it crashes under R 3.1.0):

> libxmlVersion()
$major
[1] "2"

$minor
[1] "07"

$patch
[1] "03"


# under 3.1.0
> libxmlVersion()

 *** caught segfault ***
address 0x18, cause 'memory not mapped'

Traceback:
 1: .Call(if (runTime) "RS_XML_libxmlVersionRuntime" else
"RS_XML_libxmlVersion",     PACKAGE = "XML")
 2: libxmlVersion()

I hope this helps,
Adrian
