Hi Mike,

Change the word "root" to "children" (or "xmlRootNode" which is #defined as
such, or in fact change it to a call to xmlDocSetRootElement) and it should
compile, albeit with a memory leak.  Hmm.. maybe I'm mis-interpreting the
intentions of the code..  Anyway, the xmlDoc structure is defined in
/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/tree.h if you want to check it out for yourself.

BTW, how come you want to compile it yourself?  Wouldn't it be easier to
just install a binary?  Or are you planning on doing some development on it?

hth,
Pete
