Hi again, many thanks to all respondents: expat 1.95.1 installed without a hitch using simply: % ./configure % make % sudo make install I installed XML::Parser 2.30 by adding in the explicit paths, as suggested by Nathaniel: % perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/usr/local/lib/ \ EXPATINCPATH=/usr/local/include/ % make % make test (All successful) % sudo make install The end result is one happy camper. Module in place, doing what it's supposed to do; auxiliary XML modules about to be added to the fire. Thanks again, PaulThread Previous | Thread Next
