I'm on ubuntu and I've installed gcc, cmake, libxml2-dev and I've this CMakeLists.txt file:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
find_package(LIBXML2 CONFIG)
include_directories(${LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_libraries(${LIBXML2_LIBRARY})
add_executable(testusage testusage.cpp)
I run "cmake ." OK, and then make VERBOSE=1 it gives compilation error:
Scanning dependencies of target testusage
[ 50%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/testusage.dir/testusage.cpp.o
/home/a/proj/mynet/mytest/cpp3p/useXml2/testusage.cpp:1:9: fatal error: libxml/parser.h: no such file or directory

Seems that "include_directories" didn't add any "-I" option into Makefile. How could I fix it?
Works fine for me, as soon as I use find_package(LibXml2) instead of find_package(LIBXML2 CONFIG). According to cmake-documentation, the config-mode tries to find a configuration-file, provided by the package:
Config mode search attempts to locate a configuration file provided by the package to be found. A cache entry called _DIR is created to hold the directory containing the file. By default the command searches for a package with the name . If the NAMES option is given the names following it are used instead of . The command searches for a file called Config.cmake or -config.cmake for each name specified. A replacement set of possible configuration file names may be given using the CONFIGS option.
So it seems to me, as if libxml2 does not provide such a config-file.
testusage.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <libxml/parser.h>
int main(void)
{
xmlParserNodeInfo info;
std::cout << std::hex << &info << std::endl;
}
