A couple things - first, don't use any of the tar files you find.  You 
need to grab top-of-trunk from the svn repository:

http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf4/trunk/

next - libxml2 needs to be installed, along with the "dev" package 
depending on the distro etc.  Also, a reasonably up-to-date (as of last 
year anyway) glib2 must be installed, also along with dev bits.
