I am installing a package (dia-0.96.1) in non-standard way on opensuse-11 system which I don't have root access. When I start to configure the package with command:

./configure --prefix=/home/myusername/dia

I get the error: No package 'libxml-2.0' found. However I've installed in the same way libxml2-2.9.1 package in my home directory without any error. So now when I use:

./configure --prefix=/home/myusername/dia --libdir=/home/myusername/libxmldir

I still get the same error. Is there any solution to install the package in this way?

this depends on the package, sometimes you need to pass modified CFLAGS and INCLUDES to ./configure. – Mar 26 '14 at 19:46
Do you have libxml-2.0 in your $PATH? – enedil Mar 26 '14 at 20:01
No I did not add that. Is it like including export PATH=/pathtolibxml:${PATH} in ~/.bashrc file? – pasha Mar 26 '14 at 21:11
