in thread LibXSLT fails while running "make test"

Thank you for the reply

That means I must install fresh libexslt and libz? If so, then where do I get the supporting libraries for Solaris?

    I don't know, but I would consult with my system administrator as to where they originally acquired the libraries from.

      I got this link when Googled. http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/

      Installed it but I got the same error as before..

      I did pkgadd -d libxslt.1.1.28.i86pc.Solaris.10.pkg and the libraries are updated at /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include.

      While building I did

       /opt/perl5/bin/perl Makefile.PL INC="-I/usr/local/include" LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib"

      Can you please suggest how to solve this?

      Thanks & Regards

    Yes, and maybe libxslt and libxml (does XML::LibXML work?), and maybe more. And maybe compile them yourself, don't just install the packages. And make sure the same compiler is used that compiled perl.

      so far its looking like simple LD_LIBRARY_PATH problem, might be all that, but its probably not
[reply]
        I forgot..that if you compile using one version of a library, but you try to run it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to find some other version of the library first, you can run into problems. LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be left unset whenever possible, and only set to the minimum path for the minimum amount of time needed to run things that won't run otherwise.
