The missing XML::Parser seems to be a common problem (though not for me :-/). I got quite a few mails about it. So I dig through the slimserver code and found the following comment:
# Force XML::Simple to use XML::Parser for speed. This is done
# here so other packages don't have to worry about it. If we
# don't have XML::Parser installed, we fall back to PurePerl.

So... how do we get it to work, if it would improve performance? It evidently isn't a matter of simply building it.

Where would you expect speed improvements?

Well, in fact I still get the error message on machine startup that I got with 5.4.x, namely:
nice: invalid priority '--user'
so I have to start it from the command line...
How do you start the script? Do you use a wrapper script which tries to improve performance by renicing it?

to look at what it thinks it's doing on startup. SS has evidently updated the appropriate scripts /it/ thinks need to be updated but there is probably more to it than that.

Could you give us the content of /etc/sysconfig/slimserver (if this exists)? And /etc/initi.d/slimserver?


So I am currently starting the server with
./slimserver --user slimserver
which appears to work.
