Glad to help out.

As I understand it, the xml related-flags in the configure script just
enable (or disable)
linking in libxerces to do XML parsing/generation in PET; it doesn't have
any effect on
what LKB code is built.

Are you sure you really do have the latest LKB source code? If you try
installing the
lkb-src package on your ubuntu machine, you will get a copt of the LKB
source I  used
to build my PET packages. That package does include the s-xml code. In any
event,
your error message says that LKB expects that code to be there since it has
a system
file.
