libxml2.so.2 No version information available

I repeatedly get the following error when using GRASS GIS and I think a few other programs:

/usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2: no version information available ...

As far as I can tell I have libxml2 installed at:

/usr/local/lib/libxml2/

and

/usr/local/lib/libxml2-2.7.8/

I imagine this has to do with setting an environmental variable somewhere.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Do a locate libxml2.so.2 and see if you have 2 or more versions. if so delet the old version and create a symbolic link to the new.

ln -s is the command to create a symbolic link. The rest of the command requires your file name and the old file name (but depends on what you find with locate ;) )
