Jason:
I have attempted several times to build XML::Xerces for Perl. I still
haven't been successful. I've done several searches on the web to find
help but have come up empty. Thus I've decided to bother you...I hope
you can help me.
BACKGROUND:
My operating system: SunOS 5.7
My C++ compiler: Sun WorkShop 6 2000/04/07 C++ 5.1
My version of perl: v5.6.0
My version of XercesC++: xerces-c_2_3_0-Sol2.7ForCC
My version of XML::Xerces: XML-Xerces-2.3.0-3
I downloaded the binary version of XercesC++ to my home directory,
extracted everything from the .gz file, set appropriate environment
variables, and the samples ran just fine.
I then proceeded to follow instructions on downloading and building the
XML::Xerces for Perl. I created a small script to set up the build
environment. That script is a csh file whose contents are:
# Begin csh file
setenv PERLLIB /home/younkin/install/XML-Xerces-2.3.0-3/blib/lib
setenv MYXERCESCROOT /home/younkin/install/xerces-c_2_3_0-Sol2.7ForCC
setenv XERCES_CONFIG $MYXERCESCROOT/etc/config.status
setenv XERCES_INCLUDE $MYXERCESCROOT/include
setenv XERCES_LIB $MYXERCESCROOT/lib
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $MYXERCESCROOT/lib
setenv LD_RUN_PATH
"/lib:/home/younkin/install/xerces-c_2_3_0-Sol2.7ForCC/lib:/apps/base/SUNWspro/WS6/lib"
# End csh file
Then I started in following the steps provided on your web page:
STEP 1: perl Makefile.PL
This step worked fine, with the following output:
# Begin output
Using XERCES_LIB = /home/younkin/install/xerces-c_2_3_0-Sol2.7ForCC/lib
Using XERCES_INCLUDE =
/home/younkin/install/xerces-c_2_3_0-Sol2.7ForCC/include
Using Xerces-C version info from
/home/younkin/install/xerces-c_2_3_0-Sol2.7ForCC/include/xercesc/util/XercesVersion.hpp
Checking to see if libxerces is in your library path...Success!!
Using Xerces-C version: 2.3.0
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Writing Makefile for Handler
Writing Makefile for XML::Xerces
# End output
STEP 2: make
This failed with the following output:
# Begin output
mkdir blib
mkdir blib/lib
mkdir blib/lib/XML
mkdir blib/arch
mkdir blib/arch/auto
mkdir blib/arch/auto/XML
mkdir blib/arch/auto/XML/Xerces
mkdir blib/lib/auto
mkdir blib/lib/auto/XML
mkdir blib/lib/auto/XML/Xerces
cp Xerces.pm blib/lib/XML/Xerces.pm
make -C Handler static

`/home/younkin/install/XML-Xerces-2.3.0-3/Handler'

# End output
I determined that the generated makefiles set the CC variable to 'cc' so
I tried 'CC' (upper case as opposed to lower case). This helped but I
got the following compiler error:
# Begin output
CC -c -I. -IHandler
-I/home/younkin/install/xerces-c_2_3_0-Sol2.7ForCC/include -D_REENTRANT
-O -DVERSION=\"2.3.0-3\" -DXS_VERSION=\"2.3.0-3\" -KPIC

# End output
I did a 'find' in both the XML_Xerces and xercesc directories and did
not find any definition of PERL_MAGIC_tied anywhere.
When I tried the previous version of XML::Xerces, I got the same problem
with CC=cc, but it did build after I changed it to upper case. However,
the make test failed and the sample perl scripts provided all caused a
core dump. Like I said, I haven't found anything on the web where folks
are having the same problems that I'm having. I've tried several things
that aren't worth explaining to you, but have not had any success.
Any information you could provide would be helpful. Thank you very much...
