Including libraries with KDevelop

Im having some problems including libraries properly with the IDE Kdevelop, namely the libxml2 library. I tried to include by going (roughly) to Project >> Options >>
where i could add includes/libraries. I did both in a number of different ways, i.e. I added the libxml directory, which is part of libxml 2 only. then i tried to add libxml2. both as an include and as a library. In my own files, I expected #include </libml/HTMLParser> to work, but it never did. when I changed it to : #include </libxml2/libxml/HTMLParser> the compiler found the files perfectly. I dont mind this change to my code, but files within libxml2, also use #includes, and the expect to only use: #include </libxml/parser>.
Im sure the fact that /libxml2/libxml works, but /libxml does shows where the problem lies - but I dont see it.

you have to include both. but in different ways.

- you need to point the include dir to folder with the ".h" file
- you need to point the linker to the .lib (.a, .so) file
- you also need to link against all libraries that libxml depends on

include with brackets (<>) afaik is used for system libraries, i am not even sure if "#include </lib....>" is valid (as /lib... is an absolute path).
it should read:

#include "libxml/libxml.h";
or only:
#include "libxml.h";
depending on the include path setting.

Fasecious point, but you don't need semi colon's after the #include
