can't find installed libxml2 during ./configure

[progressdll]

I installed libxml2 library from source and it installed itself in
/usr/local/lib

i added /usr/local/lib to ld.so.conf and ran a ldconfig ( as root )

then i tried to compile tablix-0.0.3 wich does require the installed version
of libxml2

i ran ./configure ( as normal user ) and i get the following error

checking for xml2-config... (cached) no
checking for libxml - version >= 2.4.3... no
*** The xml2-config script installed by LIBXML could not be found
*** If libxml was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the XML2_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to xml2-config.

so nothing of the new library is found. What can i try next?
