Hi Torben,
It looks like my instructions were a bit confusing. You need the libxml2 and libxml2-dev packages installed on your system before you can compile nsxml. The Makefile that needs to be edited is the nsxml one, not the libxml2 one.
So, I would recommend installing the libxml2 & libxml2-devel RPMs from xmlsoft.org (if they work on SUSe. If they don't work, then you'll need to install them from source, but you shouldn't need to edit the Makefile).
Once these libraries and header files are installed in your distro-specific areas (like /usr/lib), then you'll need to go back to nsxml and edit the Makefile.
