I am running into trouble trying to build XML-Xerces-2.7.0-0 with perl 5.8.9. I am running into the same problem as this guy: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.modules/browse_thread/thread/3c7dc3c3bdc0078/2bf3e8841a90de32?lnk=gst&q=Fergus+McMenemie+XML+Xerces#2bf3e8841a90de32

Here is my build script: 

#!/bin/sh

set -e
set -v

BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build-xerces
INSTALL_BASE=$BUILD_DIR/install
XERCES_INSTALL=$INSTALL_BASE/xerces-2.7.0
PERL589=/apps/perl-5.8.9/bin/perl

export XERCESCROOT=$BUILD_DIR/Xerces-C_2_7_0
export XERCES_INCLUDE=$XERCES_INSTALL/include
export XERCES_LIB=$XERCES_INSTALL/lib

/bin/rm -rf $BUILD_DIR
mkdir $BUILD_DIR

# Build Xerces-C-2.7.0

cd $BUILD_DIR
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xerces/c/tags/Xerces-C_2_7_0
mkdir -p $XERCES_INSTALL
cd $XERCESCROOT/src/xercesc
./runConfigure -plinux -cgcc -xg++ -minmem -nsocket -tnative -rpthread
+ -P$XERCES_INSTALL
make
make install

cd $BUILD_DIR
wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JA/JASONS/XML-Xerces-2.7
+.0-0.tar.gz
tar zxf XML-Xerces-2.7.0-0.tar.gz
cd $BUILD_DIR/XML-Xerces-2.7.0-0
$PERL589 Makefile.PL
make

Any ideas? Update: I running this on Centos 5.2. uname -s -r -m -i reports:

Linux 2.6.18-92.1.17.el5 i686 i386

Update: I think I figured it out. The swig files need to be regenerated, so the latest version of SWIG needs to be installed, then: 

export SWIG=path/to/swig/binary
export XERCES_DEVEL=1
... continue with build ...
