Hello, I have some problem regarding installing XML::LibXML. I have already installed libxml2 and gcc. When I run the “make” command I get the following error: 
gcc -c  -I/usr/include/libxml2 -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -U__STRICT_ANSI_

I have read a solution posted on: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/perl-xml/3687924. But as I mentioned I have already installed libxml2 and gcc. The typemap file is in the directory "c/Perl/lib/XML-LibXML-1.70" and I cannot understand why it cannot find it. Even when I try to install XML::LibXML::Common 0.13 I get exactly the same error as above regarding typemap. I read on the following page: http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/installing_perl_modules.html that “Note: you should use the same compiler to build Perl modules that you used to build Perl. For example, if you are building Perl modules with gcc and are using a version of Perl that was supplied with your distribution (ex. Solaris 8 includes Perl 5.005_03), you may run into errors.” Could this be related to me? If yes how can I solve it. Thanks, Laleh
