Yeah, I initiallly tried using XERCESCROOT, but then I got an error
message saying that the config.status file couldn't be found. So, I saw
on your web page that I could use XERCES_LIB and XERCES_INCLUDE
directly, so I tried that. Again, it couldn't find config.status. So,
I found config.status myself, looked at Makefile.PL, and saw that it
used XERCES_CONFIG. That's why you see XERCES_INCLUDE, XERCES_LIB, and
XERCES_CONFIG set explicitly. When that still failed, I removed
XERCESCROOT entirely, but to no avail.

I changed the PERL_MAGIC_tied to be 'P'. That made everything build,
but the "make test" command still fails.

As you see from above, this didn't happen for me.

I did try it again, just in case I'm crazy...but it failed again. As I
said, I still have to manually change the CC make variable from cc to
CC. I need to define XERCES_CONFIG myself, and then I can't run "make
test."
The error I get is:
t/DOMCreate.........Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/XML/Xerces/Xerces.so' for
module XML::Xerces: ld.so.1: /apps/base/bin/perl: fatal: relocation

I get this many times, once for each file in the t directory. When I
run a script from the samples directory, I get this error:

This seems related to the "make test" errors. I've tried mucking with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_RUN_PATH but nothing seems to help. Another
thing to note that I hadn't told you, I've tried 2 previous versions of
XML::Xerces and had basically the same problems with all three
versions. The PERL_MAGIC_tied was a new one with the newest version,
but the inability to find config.status, the changing of the make var
CC, and the unlocatable so files has been consistent throughout.
I see that you posted a new version of XML::Xerces yesterday. I'll give
it a try and report back.
Lastly, I see that you asked me to "post results to the list" if I have
trouble. Well, if I could find "the list" I would be happy to do that
and stop bothering you directly. But I didn't see where I could do
that. I checked on-line and in the downloaded doc files and couldn't
find any information on a list. Please tell me where it is and I'll
make sure to use it in the future.
