Thanks for pointing out the fact that one can set LIBXML_INCDIR and it
is definitely a good thing. In this particular case, however, I hope
that the configuration should work automatically without any additional
manual settings. The configure script should be using

 xml2-config --cflags

and that should return -I/usr/include/libxml2 and libxml/parser.h is
then duly found within that directory.

If this isn't the case, I'd be happy to find out and change things.
Unfortunately, conflicts between libxml and libxml2, use of libxml/
and gnome-xml/, etc... make this a complex configuration.
