Are you reading a manual that corresponds to the PG version you're
using?
The xml functions are only in core as of 8.3; in prior versions they
were in a contrib module, which you'd need to build and install.
The contrib functions were a bit different in detail, too, which is
why you'd better consult the right manual.

No PG version is going to support any xml functionality without libxml2.
