Many thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate that.
Should have mentioned my OS - it's Mandrake Linux 10.1.
I only have one version of Perl installed (at least I have not installed another version apart from the one bundled with the OS). This is installed at /usr/lib/perl5/
I did a search for the header files, results at the bottom of this mail. I may be entirely wrong but should there not be much more than this? I found a list in table 25.1 of http://neonatus.net/PERL5/ch25.htm which includes many more. For instance, I searched for 'keywords.h' from root and did not find any entries.
Am I correct in thinking there are some missing and if so, can you suggest an easy way of rectifying this?
Thanks again, Chris

Hi.Hi Chriss,
I'm trying to install a local copy of the W3C HTML Validator. I've managed to install all the pre-requisites apart from Text-Iconv-
1.4 - I get the following error message:
/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Text-Iconv-1.4]# perl Makefile.PL Checking for iconv ... ok (added -liconv)
NOTE: If you have multiple iconv implementations installed, you might want to make sure that I've found the one you want to use. If necessary, you can explicitly specify paths like this:
/usr/bin/perl5.8.5 Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/path/to/lib' INC='-I/path/to/include'
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Does anyone know what might be going wrong here? I have installed libiconv-1.9.1 and man iconv opens the manual up, so I assume I have got iconv installed.
I have tried to change LIBS/INC to reflect my setup but to be honest I'm not exactly sure what I should be pointing at here.
Yaik's, what OS are you working with ?? Do you have more then one verssion of perl installed ?? Basicly the problem is that, it can't find your Perl Header files. Short solution would be to find where your header files are and create a link to them somewhere in /usr/lib/perl5...
Any advice (or suggestions on where I can research this myself) would be greatly appreciated.
let me know if that helps.
