Ok so I have now done an install of pkg-config on the box in question, it
hasn't helped me much I'm afraid:

echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/opt/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig


$ pkg-config-install/bin/pkg-config --cflags libxml-2.0
sh: gnome-config: not found
Package libxml-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libxml-2.0' found

$ cat /opt/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig/libxml-2.0.pc
prefix=/opt/libxml2
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
modules=1

Name: libXML
Version: 2.6.26
Description: libXML library version2.
Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lxml2 -lpthread   -lm -lsocket -lnsl
Cflags: -I${includedir}/libxml2


Any further pointers greatly appreciated.
