It's been a regular nightmare trying to get the
various XML packages (XML::LibXML, XML::Parser,
XML::RSS in particular) to install on my OS X 10.2.5.
I've successfully installed Perl 5.8 (I think), and
even a few of the other modules (LWP for example).
Originally I had Fink, Fink Commander, but followed
the insturctions on the developer.apple.com/perl link
about how to navigate around the issues there. I also
had all the xml libs installed via fink commander
prior to my Perl 5.8 install. I've tried various
combinations of solutions including rebuilding the xml
libs via fink, installing expat anew, installing the
libxml2, libxlst apart from Fink, etc. Pretty much
every combo I could think of. The error details are as
follows:
1. When trying to install XML::LibXML I get the
following error:
t/08findnodes.......dubious
Test returned status 0 (wstat 10, 0xa)
DIED. FAILED tests 6-44
Failed 39/44 tests, 11.36% okay
To my untrained eye, this seems to be the only error
in this module.
2. When trying to install XML::RSS, it first tries to
install XML::Parser, which when I try to install on
its own produces these errors:
dyld: /usr/bin/perl Undefined symbols:
-- in about 15 different categories, t/cdata for one.
I've tried to all the things I've found about
resolving the undefined symbol errors including
getting rid of some of the lib files and 'make
install'ing 5.8 again, but to no avail. I don't see
any of these modules in the /sw/lib/perl5 folders in
order to rebuild them according to the workaround
(mentioned in the developer.apple.com article)
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated as
I'm pretty frustrated with all this stuff right now.
