sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev

I have tried googling, unfortunately not able to get.

If you're running Solaris 11, then pkg install libxml2 with sufficient privilege would be the right invocation. Determining the right package name is as simple as pkg search with a reasonable query (assuming that you're still connected to the repository from which you installed the system).

If you're running Solaris 10 or older, then you'll need the original install media, plus whatever patches have been issued that intersect SUNWlxml. But frankly, installing from source is probably easier at that point.

What you proposed is specific to Debian-based Linux distributions.

IMHO, the fastest way would be to download the libxml2 source code in order to compile and install it yourself.
