Soup from CVS has an --enable-glib2 configure flag, which uses glib 2.0
and prefers libxml2.  What version are you using, and from where did you
get it?  I think I added glib2 support for 0.7.4.  The tarball probably
has to be updated from wherever you got it.

I don't know how complete/functional the SOAP stuff is these days -- I
use Soup solely as an HTTP transport library -- but it doesn't do
XML-RPC (the format).  If you're looking for a good XML-RPC (not SOAP)
library in C, I'd suggest xmlrpc-c.  We're using it in some new stuff,
and it's about as nice as you can get from doing this sort of stuff in
C.  The site is http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net.  I have a patch in the
patch tracker which adds libxml2 support to it.  It'll probably go into
the next release, but he hasn't done one in forever.  Fortunately,
though, it's pretty bug free.
