Comment:

 Aaaarrrggghh.   All my fault.    But your questions helped me find the
 answer:

 .   my /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2 is fine
     but I had an old /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 lurking there from way back
 .   pidgin make did not set an rpath in the binary and so I guess was
 picking up the old libxml2.so.2

 Easily fixed by exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib"
 on the pidgin command and now everything works ok.

 Thanks for your help.     can close it.   I did not try to do that as it
 has a mind of its own
