[LDM #YVG-914431]: Build Problems for LDM 6.11.2 on Ubuntu Server 12.04

As long as the symbol "xmlFree" is defined in both the shared and regular 
libraries, then they were built correctly.

Do the libraries "/usr/local/ldm/ldm-6.11.2/lib/libxml2*" exist? Do they define 
the symbol "xmlFree"?

Delete the "src" directory and repopulate it from the tarball. Then build again 
using as few additions, options, environment variable settings, etc. as 
possible.
