Hi,

We're trying to compile XML::SAX::ExpatXS but we get this error: 

perl Makefile.PL
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lexpat
Do you want to alter ParserDetails.ini? [Y]
Writing Makefile for XML::SAX::ExpatXS

I believe the problem is that Makefile.PL cannot find my expat. I have compiled expat-1.95.8 in a non-standard directory, how can I tell Makefile.PL where it's located?

I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /my/path/expat-1.95.8/lib, but no success.

I am running this in a solaris 9 machine.

Thanks
