Do a "locate xml.so"...

This error indicates that your PHP doesn't have that extension built as a
module (or inbuilt). "rpmfind" may help you (or it may not).

This is happening because the warning was printed. A "location" header--the
thing in HTTP that tells your browser to redirect--can only be sent if no
other headers or text has been sent [ok, technically that's a crap
description but it suffices].

I would try this:

 * find php.ini (probably /etc/php* somewhere)
 * comment out "DisplayErrors"
 * restart Apache
 * reload said pages

...this will stop the Waning: dl() thing but it should let you redirect to
wherever it wants to go. Remember to turn DisplayErros back on again
afterwards.
