+  <li><em>I want to install my own copy of libxml2 in my home directory and link
+    my programs against it, but it doesn't work</em>
+    <p>There are many different ways to accomplish this.  Here is one way to
+      do this under Linux.  Suppose your home directory is <code>/home/user.
+      </code>Then:</p>
+    <ul><li>Create a subdirectory, let's call it <code>myxml</code></li>
+      <li>unpack the libxml2 distribution into that subdirectory</li>
+      <li>chdir into the unpacked distribution (<code>/home/user/myxml/libxml2
+        </code>)</li>
+      <li>configure the library using the "<code>--prefix</code>" switch,
+      specifying an installation subdirectory in <code>/home/user/myxml</code>,
+      e.g.
+      <p><code>./configure --prefix /home/user/myxml/xmlinst</code> {other
+      configuration options}</p></li>
+      <li>now run <code>make</code> followed by <code>make install</code></li>
+      <li>At this point, the installation subdirectory contains the complete
+      "private" include files, library files and binary program files (e.g.
+      xmllint), located in
+      <p> <code>/home/user/myxml/xmlinst/lib, /home/user/myxml/xmlinst/include
+      </code> and <code> /home/user/myxml/xmlinst/bin</code></p>
+      respectively.</li>
+      <li>In order to use this "private" library, you should first add it
+      to the beginning of your default PATH (so that your own private
+      program files such as xmllint will be used instead of the normal
+      system ones).  To do this, the Bash command would be
+      <p><code>export PATH=/home/user/myxml/xmlinst/bin:$PATH</code></p></li>
+      <li>Now suppose you have a program <code>test1.c</code> that you would
+      like to compile with your "private" library.  Simply compile it
+      using the command <p><code>gcc `xml2-config --cflags --libs` -o test
+      test.c</code></p>  Note that, because your PATH has been set with <code>
+      /home/user/myxml/xmlinst/bin</code> at the beginning, the
+      xml2-config program which you just installed will be used instead of
+      the system default one, and this will <em>automatically</em> get the
+      correct libraries linked with your program.</li></ul>
