Hello all,
I am trying very hard to install LibXML on SCO UNIX.

I first installed perl-5.8.4 with dynamic linking but when I was tried to install XML::LibXML::Common I got the following error for XML-LibXML-Common-0.13:

# make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.
+pl

# Running under perl version 5.008004 for sco

# Current time GMT:   Fri Jul 16 19:41:25 2004
# Using Test.pm version 1.24
Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/XML/LibXML/Common/Common.so' for module XML

Path and other settings are as follows:

# echo $LD_RUN_PATH
/usr/local/lib
# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/guest/XML-LibXML-Common-0.13

[download]

(I also tried LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib)

# ls -l /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     sys            17 Jul 16 12:47 /usr/local/lib/
+libxml2.so.2 -> libxml2.so.8.6.11
# perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i386-sco

Later, I install perl-5.8.4 with static linking which gives me the following error:

# make test
make -f Makefile.aperl perl
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/guest/XML-LibXML-Common-0.13'
make[1]: `perl' is up to date.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/guest/XML-LibXML-Common-0.13'
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 ./perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl
dynamic linker : ./perl : error opening libxml2.so.2

HELP IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

Thanks,
J Dias

Although I could not find a ldconfig command for the SCO unix. ldconfig was not required. But your pointers led me to find out how to set the env on SCO. Newbie on SCO :( Thanks for your help!
