I am still attempting to install XML::Parser on my two HP_UX systems (11.11).
I have version 1.58 of CPAN and version 4.0.2 of gcc.

I am getting a note and beaucoups errors.

The note is: Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lexpat

Then it proceeds to do the makes for XML::Parser and XML::Parser::Expat.
Later, when trying to compile Expat.c I get the errors:

Expat.xs:12:19: error: expat.h: No such file or directory
Expat.xs:60: error: syntax error before 'XML_Parser'
Expat.xs:60: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
Expat.xs:78: error: syntax error before ':' token
Expat.xs:79: error: syntax error before ':' token
Expat.xs:80: error: syntax error before ':' token
Expat.xs:106: error: syntax error before '}' token
Expat.xs:106: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
Expat.xs:111: error: syntax error before 'nsdelim'
.
.
.
Expat.c: In function 'XS_XML__Parser__Expat_Do_External_Parse':
Expat.c:2643: error: 'XML_Parser' undeclared (first use in this function)
Expat.c:2643: error: syntax error before 'parser'

Expat.xs:2194: error: syntax error before ')' token
Expat.xs:2197: error: 'parser' undeclared (first use in this function)
*** Error exit code 1
Stop.

*** Error exit code 1
Stop.

/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

My question is: does the note have anything to do with the errors, and how do I correct?
Is there an error in the module?

I would gladly appreciate even a hint from the learned brethren.
