Platform: perl, v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris-64int I am unable to install XML::Parser. The build fails after not being able to locate xpat. This does exist, and I have followed the instructions on setting EXPATLIBPATH, EXPATINCPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Below is a transcript of what I have done, but there is obviously something else necessary.
Thanks, Barry ----- cpan> install XML::Parser . . Running install for module XML::Parser Running make for M/MS/MSERGEANT/XML-Parser-2.34.tar.gz Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lexpat Expat must be installed prior to building XML::Parser and I can't find it in the standard library directories. You can download expat from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/ If expat is installed, but in a non-standard directory, then use the following options to Makefile.PL: EXPATLIBPATH=... To set the directory in which to find libexpat EXPATINCPATH=... To set the directory in which to find expat.h For example: perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/home/me/lib EXPATINCPATH=/home/me/include Note that if you build against a shareable library in a non-standard location you may (on some platforms) also have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable at run time for perl to find the library.
