This looks like a problem caused by some renaming done between libxml1
and libxml2.  The fix is to replace "childs" with "xmlChildrenNode"
(and possibly "root" with "xmlRoot"), and include the following lines
so that it works with older versions of libxml1:

#ifndef xmlChildrenNode
#define xmlChildrenNode childs
#define xmlRootNode root
#endif

(We came across his at work recently)

Cheers,
