Libxml2 xmlSchemaParse failed

Question

I have a little project (on c++ linux ubuntu 14.04) where I trying to parse some XML document using libxml2. When I get .xml file I trying to validate it. But there are some nasty errors!

I found information about using a few .xsd schemas during validation. For this it is important to create .xsd document with "import" elements (for each of .xsd schema) that have 'schemaLocation' element.
There is my .xsd schema:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns="http://osll.converter-schema"
    targetNamespace="http://osll.converter-schema"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:OAI-PMH="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0"
    xmlns:lido="http://www.lido-schema.org"
    version="1.0" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">

    <xs:import namespace="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0" schemaLocation="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/OAI-PMH.xsd"/>   
    <xs:import namespace="http://www.lido-schema.org" schemaLocation="http://www.lido-schema.org/schema/v1.0/lido-v1.0.xsd"/>
</xs:schema>

There is c++ code for parsing .xsd schema using libxml2:

bool XmlDocument::validate(const char* fileSchema) {
    std::cout << "Starting validate xml-document..";
    xmlSchemaParserCtxtPtr schemaParser = xmlSchemaNewParserCtxt(fileSchema);
    xmlSchemaPtr schema = xmlSchemaParse(schemaParser);
    xmlSchemaValidCtxtPtr schemaValid = xmlSchemaNewValidCtxt(schema);
    int result = xmlSchemaValidateDoc(schemaValid, xmlDocument);
    if(result!=0) { std::cout << "Error! Code: " << result << std::endl; return false; }
    else { std::cout << "Done!\n"; return true; }
    return false;
}

And at last there is list of errors:

http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink.xsd:27: element import: Schemas parser warning : Element '{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}import': Skipping import of schema located at 'http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd' for the namespace 'http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace', since this namespace was already imported with the schema located at 'http://www.w3.org/2001/03/xml.xsd'.

response.xml:3: element OAI-PMH: Schemas validity error : Element '{http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/}OAI-PMH': No matching global declaration available for the validation root.

Please help to find bug, I will be very pleasure!

The first set of error messages are complaining that the parser cannot grab download an external XSD file specified by its URL.

Is the box you're running this on able to access the Internet?

In order to be able to import external XSD file, there must be, naturally, Internet access.

In absense of Internet access, it's possible to manually download any needed external files, and have them loaded locally, via the xml catalog file; but that's a different, somewhat more complicated, topic.
