*sigh* I was afraid of that. Guess there's nothing for it but to go ahead
and try to build a private copy for Xerces-P. :-(
BTW, I note that my Perl was built against linux 2.2.17-smp -- which sounds
suspciously like Red Hat 7.0 with patches to me -- whereas Red Hat 7.1
includes linux 2.4.2. I assume there goes differences in glibc, gcc, and
kernel headers (for, say, networking constants) with this difference. What
was your Perl built with and what does the new version say?
5.6.0 or 5.6.1 BTW?
I'm picking 5.6.0 off my friendly neighbourhood CPAN mirror as I'm typing.
I'll build it with defaults, except $prefix, and let you know how that
goes. (and what diffs there is in "perl -V" output).

Sure. It's not building it; it's installing it without messing up @INC and
without /getting/ it messed up by the next Red Hat update that Red Carpet
pushes onto my box. :-|
