You cannot compile PostgreSQL 8.3 on RHEL 4 with xml support -- unless
you install libxml2 from sources. RHEL ships 2.6.16 version of libxml,
but PostgreSQL requires 2.6.23 at least.

(I don't know Spanish or such -- I'm using Google to translate these
into English ;) )

After installing libxml2 from sources, you will need to recompile
PostgreSQL against these sources...

If I were you, I would find a way to upgrade to RHEL 5 -- all problems
would go away.
