The installed version of libxml2 not compatible with XML::LibXML.

There's the problem. XML::LibXML is a wrapper around the C library LibXML.
You may not have the library installed, or the version you have may be too
old.

RedHat typically divides libraries into two packages, one package with the
library binary used by pre-built apps, and a -dev package with the corres-
ponding header and other files needed to build new apps against it. You'll
need both packages to build the Perl module.
