So util.h exists on withe Ruby 1.8, but apparently not on 1.9.
Turns out Sam Ruby reported that last year:

http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/libxml-devel/2008-January/000680.html

Anyway, I just removed that include from trunk.  We are about to cut a 
new release in the next day or so, 0.9.8.  Give that a try.

And see if you run into this issue:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=23147&group_id=494&atid=1971

Or this one:

http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1023

I don't have a 1.9 machine handy, so it would be great if you could help 
get libxml working.
