I'm running on RHEL 6.9. I have installed libxml2 and libxml2-devel. The xml2 libraries are under /usr/lib64. Zlib is installed and is under /lib64. So, I changed makepl_arg as:

o conf makepl_arg "INC=-I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/incl
+ude/libxml2/libxml LIBS=-L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/l
+ib64 -llibxml2 -lm"
o conf commit

[download]
When I run cpan XML::LibXML::Node, I get: 
...
Checking for ability to link against xml2...no
Checking for ability to link against libxml2...libxml2, zlib, and/or t
+he Math library (-lm) have not been found.

I'm not sure what math library it is referring to. I have been searching on the Internet, but nothing is really popping out. Any clues what I may be missing?
