You could try going into the tp/Texinfo/Convert/XSParagraph subdirectory
and running
TEXINFO_XS=debug ${PERL} -I ../../../ -I . fail.pl
where ${PERL} is the path to your Perl executable. This should give
an idea what point it is failing at. For example, I get the output
checking ../../..//TestXS.la
checking ./TestXS.la
found ./TestXS.la
./.libs/TestXS.so loaded
looking for boot_TestXS
trying to call boot_TestXS...
...succeeded
message from XS module
which shows it loaded successfully.
