Hi, this is a bug in homebrew's handling of system libraries. They
recently fixed it, so I think all you have to do is update homebrew:

    brew update

But if that fails you can install libxml2 manually then set:

    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="`brew --prefix libxml2`/lib/pkgconfig:`brew --prefix libffi`/lib/pkgconfig"
