in thread Errors building XML::LibXML

that's not a bad idea. so i did this:
# ldconfig -p > /tmp/aa # rm -f /etc/ld.so.cache # ldconfig # ldconfig -p > /tmp/bb # diff /tmp/aa /tmp/bb > libxml2.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libxml2.so
that got me excited...but to no avail. same errors as before.

    Go find something else that uses LibXML e.g. a test suite of some kind to determine if the library itself is running properly. And in any case, you're going to have to break-out of the padded cell of prove and run subtests individually to get to error-messages that are right now being suppressed. (As previously discussed on this thread.)

      A good thought. I went ahead and compiled this simple program, which makes use of the libxml2 library. It compiled and ran just fine.

      Just so I know you aren't talking about something else - isn't that what I did when I responded to tye's suggestion ("perl -Mblib t/02parse.t")? I'm still digesting that output.

        Yes, you were on the right track there, and I would encourage you to continue to pursue that general strategy.
