The Xerces-C people promised me that they would start included it for the binary distributions. Because I can't read your config.status file, I can't find where your C++ compiler is located, nor can I find any of the CFLAGS or LDFLAGS used to build Xerces-C - which means Perl has to guess, and it is notoriously bad at guessing... > cc -c -I. -IHandler > -I/home/younkin/install/xerces-c_2_3_0-Sol2.7ForCC/include -D_REENTRANT > -O -DVERSION=\"0.10\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.10\" -KPIC > -I/apps/base/lib/perl5/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/CORE PerlCallbackHandler.cpp > cc: No input file specified, no output generated This is the error you get when using cc on a C++ file - I can't remember why - whether it's a license issue, or what. > I determined that the generated makefiles set the CC variable to 'cc' so > I tried 'CC' (upper case as opposed to lower case).

Sorry, 2.3.0-4 solves this problem, that is a Perl-5.8 variable, and you're using 5.6. If you don't want to upgrade XML::Xerces again, you can simply modify the one use of PERL_MAGIC_tied to be the character: 'P'. > 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. correct, it is a C++ project, you must use CC. XML::Xerces will autodetect this if you set the XERCESCROOT variable. > However, the make test failed and the sample perl scripts provided > all caused a core dump.

Please rebuild after setting XERCESCROOT, and if the test scripts still dump core, please post the results to the list, and we'll see what we can do.
