Where do I find libxml2-dev source code?

Hi,
I'm trying to build the 'chessd' Internet chess server

http://che
ssd.sourceforge.net/index-en.php

on a Sun Ultra 60 with Solaris 10. The INSTALL files lists
the following 
requirements.

     pkgconfig
     postgres
     postgres-dev
     libpq-dev
     libxml2-dev
     libltdl3-dev
     libtool
     make (GNU version)

But I can't seem to find libxml2-dev. I found the files

libxml2-2.6.26.tar.gz

libxml-docs.tar.gz  (is this relevant - note no number 2)

but all the -devel versions I can find are rpms for 386
CPUs. Where 
might I find a .tar.gz file? (It is possible I could make
use of a src 
rpm, but it will mean I will need to build something to
handle RPM 
files, as they are not typically used on Solaris).

That's normal, because for binary packages like rpm, deb
and others the
library (which is needed to run any program that uses the
library)
itself is separated from the header files (which are needed
to compile a
program that uses the library).

So the INSTALL file wants to help the users using Linux
distributions to
easily find the correct packages (they often install only
libfoobar and
wonder why the compilation fails). 

So the short answer is: You want the libxml2-2.6.26.tar.gz,
extract it
and read the README and INSTALL files (if existant, don't
know which of
the two are there).

For GNU stuff on Sun, I tend to get binary packages from
http://sunfreeware.com
- they should have a libxml2 package too (tho
IIRC they don't usually split packages up in foo and
foo-dev parts;
their packages contain both libraries and header).
