Hi,

I'm trying to install XML::CanonicalizeXML and am getting errors with make - "Not OK". I've had that with a few Perl modules in the past and I'm never really sure where to go. I think the problem is probably the line "canon.c:4:27: fatal error: libxml/parser.h: No such file or directory" - possibly libxml/parser.h is missing? Is this a linux system file or something to do with the module? Time to ask for some advice from the Monks.

I'm on SUSE linux by the way. I've printed the full install printout below.
