A possible reason is that the libxml2.so and libxml2.a you have is for  
a different processor architecture than the one you have (although I  
admit I don't know how can that happen with a package manager). Maybe  
the libxml2 is for a 32-bit architecture while the rest of your system  
has 64-bit libraries or something like that. Anyway, igraph has a  
ready-made RPM package for Fedora Core (it's in testing status ATM); I  
don't know how close they are to each other, but my prior assumption  
is that they are pretty similar, since RHEL is just a commercial  
derivative of Fedora. I would just try to install the Fedora Core  
package first and see if it works: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/igraph
