in reply to Trouble Installing HTML::Parser on MacOS X

OK I found the mailing list and almost instantly got help.

http://www.mail-archive.com/macosx@perl.org/msg05736.html has the fix, apparently, I haven't been able to test yet.

Short answer, the version of cc is wrong, and changing 

    ld='MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc'

[download]
to 

    ld='env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc'

[download]
in /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Config.pm is the fix, or possibly changing it in the Makefile?

Anyway, HTH. You should be able to find sign-up instructions for the list via that link.

    Jeez, did I take long enough to respond? :) The fix suggested on that list didn't help even a little bit. But I found last night when trying to compile nmap that my C compiler was unable to create an executable. Given that my previous attempts to compile modules utilizing C components failed when trying to find the output files from the C compilation, I think the problem was in general an inability to create object files.

    In any case, I upgraded my version of Xcode Tools to 1.5 and now everything is working perfectly.
