  You need to export your PATH in your environment so your installation path is included *before* your
   system PATH.

   export PATH=/installation/path/bin:${PATH}

   If you do:

   which xml2-config

   It should find a script in your installation path. 

   After if your installation is a non standard one, I recommend to configure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well:

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/installation/path/lib

   As well  even if it should not be needed, I recommand to export those variables as well to start Zope.
   Setting them in your shell profile would help it probably.

   Silva is not tested against 2.3. According the version number change, it might contains changes that
   are not backward compatible, so I would test it first throughly before.
