Some packages which utilize <application>libxml2</application> (such as

</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static --with-history &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<para>If you downloaded the testsuite, issue the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput>tar xf ../xmlts&testsuite-version;.tar.gz</userinput></screen>
<para>
To test the results, issue: <command>make check &gt; check.log</command>.
A summary of the results can be obtained with <command>grep -E
'^Total|expected' check.log</command>. If <xref linkend="valgrind"/> is
installed and you want to check memory leaks, replace
<command>check</command> with <command>check-valgrind</command>.
