Dear All,

I have a problem with the Xerces module I installed. It installed fine, and of course I installed it as root. However, any subsequent perl module I run that uses Xerces, needs me to be root to run it. If I'm not root, it gives me this error message: 

Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/aut
+o/XML/Xerces/Xerces.so' for module XML::Xerces: libxerces-c1_7_0.so: 
+cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib
+/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229.
 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Xerces.
+pm line 8

I can think of two things to do:

I was wondering though, what should I have done, when installing Xerces library to make sure I could run it as any user?? Was this simply a mistake in the Makefile??

Thanks Sam
