On 2005-04-11 various people addressed the question:
 Does anyone know when Tiger itself will be shipping?

Will those suffering from can't-wait-for-the-next thing please not
infect this list?

Thanks,

Re: trouble installing XML::LibXML

2005-04-11 Thread brian pink
you might want to try building it from the actual distro if you're using the
Fink libxml libraries, i know that with XML::Parser, i have to actually set
the path to expat in the Makefile.pl file to get it to build with my
darwinports expat.

hth,

 Hi all,
 
 I need to re-install XML::LibXML after a harddisk failure, and I can't
 remember how I did it the first time around. Here is how I tried it:
 First, I installed the LibXML and LibXML2 libraries using Fink. Then, I
 ran:
 
 sudo cpan -i XML::LibXML
 
 First it looked good, but at several points in the process got a message
 of the following type:
 
 
 Writing Makefile for XML::NamespaceSupport
 -- NOT OK
 Running make test
   Can't test without successful make
 Running make install
   make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
 
 
 I had trouble with make trying to install another software (remind),
 too. Maybe my unix system is broken somehow? That would be strange since
 it is pretty much a fresh installation.
 
 Does anybody know what might be the problem?
 
 Ingo

As far as perl goes, I always install a parallel perl for my dev stuff, 
so I don't have to mess with the system install.

If you are anxious for Tiger, you can pay USD 500 for the privilege of 
testing pre-release versions. If you do lot of development for the Mac, 
it's worth the price. I've done it once, just haven't been able to get 
involved enough in Mac development to pay for the next one.

Found myself wondering what to do with all the CDs, also found myself 
wishing I could afford more hardware for running the pre-release 
software on.
