The command:

+version is older than the testsuite one, failing to compile or run the tests
is likely. In any event this won't work with an installed libxml2 older

Building on other platforms should be a matter of compiling the C files
like any other program using libxml2, running the test should be done
simply by launching the resulting executables.
+Also note the availability of a "make valgrind" target which will run the
+above tests under valgrind to check for memory errors (but this relies
+on the availability of the valgrind command and take far more time to
+complete).
