Installing XML::Parser

marknm has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to install XML::Parser in a local directory - I get through the installation of expat in good shape (as far as I can tell). The perl Makefile.pl invocation looks good, but when I run make I get the following warning (this is the first of several but they are similar and probably related)

cc-1047 cc: WARNING File = /usr/share/lib/perl5/irix-n32/5.00404/CORE/
+perlsdio.h, Line = 268
  Macro "getc_unlocked" (declared at line 394 of "/usr/include/stdio.h
+") has an
          incompatible redefinition.
 
  #define getc_unlocked(f)      PerlIO_getc(f)
          ^

When I try to load the module, I see

Can't load '/home/globus/cyclone/zephyr/XMLParser/perllib/irix-n32/aut
+o/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so' for module XML::Parser::Expat: 1760710:/

What is the relation between perlsdio.h and stdio.h? Thanks, Mark

Actually `expat` is at http://expat.sourceforge.net.	[reply]

Best place to ask is the perl-xml list that ActiveState runs.	[reply]

Looks like you may need to install James Clark's Expat package (that's offsite: www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html), and make sure that the XML module install can locate the resulting library that it provides.	[reply]
