Yes, looks like this is the problem:

$ pkg-config --cflags --libs "libxml-2.0 > 2.6.17"

-I/usr/include/libxml2 -lxml2

$ pkg-config --variable pcfiledir "libxml-2.0 > 2.6.17"

/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/os/mac/pkgconfig/10.12

And xcode-select --install doesn't help (because /usr/include doesn't
exist).
