You didn't mention what operating system this is, but, for example, if
it's Debian, Ubuntu or similar you might need to install libxml2-dev
and pkg-config for --with-libxml to work.

In addition to what Thomas said, I would also recommend you to refer
to the description of --with-libxml command line option provided in
the postgres installation-procedure page - [1]https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/install-procedure.html.

Thanks for the quick response. I am using RED HAT linux ( ppc64-le ).

Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.9 Beta (Maipo)
CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7.9:beta:server
Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-1136.el7.ppc64le
Architecture: ppc64-le
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

I have gone into the details given for xml support and have installed the required rpm and tried to setup the env variables as well like

export XML2_CFLAGS='/usr/lib64/'
export XML2_CONFIG='/usr/lib64/'
export XML2_LIBS='/usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2.9.1'

rpm -qi libxml2-2.9.1-6.el7.4.ppc64le
Name : libxml2
Version : 2.9.1
Release : 6.el7.4
Architecture: ppc64le
Install Date: Thu 09 Jul 2020 02:55:33 PM CDT

yum list installed |grep xml

libxml2-python.ppc64le 2.9.1-6.el7.4 @anaconda/7.9

xml-common.noarch 0.6.3-39.el7 @anaconda/7.9
xml2.ppc64le 0.5-7.el7 @epel
xmlrpc-c.ppc64le 1.32.5-1905.svn2451.el7 @anaconda/7.9
xmlrpc-c-client.ppc64le 1.32.5-1905.svn2451.el7 @anaconda/7.9

--with-libxml
Build with libxml2, enabling SQL/XML support. Libxml2 version 2.6.23 or later is required for this feature.

To detect the required compiler and linker options, PostgreSQL will query pkg-config, if that is installed and knows about libxml2. Otherwise the program xml2-config, which is installed by libxml2, will be used if it is found. Use of pkg-config is preferred, because it can deal with multi-architecture installations better.

To use a libxml2 installation that is in an unusual location, you can set pkg-config-related environment variables (see its documentation), or set the environment variable XML2_CONFIG to point to the xml2-config program belonging to the libxml2 installation, or set the variables XML2_CFLAGS and XML2_LIBS. (If pkg-config is installed, then to override its idea of where libxml2 is you must either set XML2_CONFIG or set both XML2_CFLAGS and XML2_LIBS to nonempty strings.)
