Can you trace out what make is actually trying to do here?

I think I found the reason: I don't know why, but the configure script takes the libxml2 that is installed on the system and the configure script in the libxml directory does not get called. When I call make distclean afterwards, make distclean gets called in the libxml directory (again: I don't know why), but there is (of course) no target distclean, because of the configure script not being run before... (and that is what the error message says) Are you able to fix this?
