You should probably verify that the libxml2 library that's part of the LDM 
package was built correctly by comparing the following commands on my system to 
yours:

    $ cd
    $ cd src/libxml2/.libs
    $ nm -g libxml2.so | grep -w xmlFree
    000000000028c220 D xmlFree
    $ nm -g libxml2.a | grep -w xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
    0000000000000000 D xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree
                     U xmlFree

Yes. Do as Tom suggested and try a clean build from scratch.
