How to install php 5.3 on Ubuntu 14.4 with plesk 12? Missing libxml2

I need php 5.3 in reason of compatibility. I tried to install it under Ubuntu 14.4 with:

wget http://in1.php.net/distributions/php-5.3.28.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf php-5.3.28.tar.bz
cd php-5.3.28
./configure --prefix /usr/local/php53

However it returns the error:

checking libxml2 install dir... no
checking for xml2-config path... 
configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.

libxml2 and xml2 are installed and uptodate

Any idea on how to fix this?

You need to install the developer support for libxml2, otherwise you can only use software that is already built against it, you can't compile that software yourself.

apt-get install libxml2-dev
