You are trying to use XML::Xerces or are using a module that in turn uses XML::Xerces, but the Perl you are using doesn't have XML::Xerces installed. The remedy is to either install `XML::Xerces` (see the tutorials here and elsewhere) or to stop using XML::Xerces and the modules that require it.	[reply]

The error might also mean that XML::Xerces is installed, but for some reason it cannot find the external shared library libxerces-c.so.25 that the module was compiled against. This might mean that it's not available on the system, for which one should get and install the library, and then recompile the XML::Xerces package against it. If it is available, you may have to either run ldconfig() to update the links to the libraries, or else set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the directory where the library is found, if it's a non-standard location.

We have a similar looking error. Although not exactly the same. Error.... Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/auto/XML/Xerces/Xerces.so' for module XML::Xerces: ld.so.1: /usr/bin/perl: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/auto/XML/Xerces/Xerces.so: symbol _ZN11xercesc_2_56XMLUni22fgUCS4LEncodingString2E: referenced symbol not found at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/XML/Xerces.pm line 7 We have used these two guides to attempt the installation of Xerces... http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/build-winunix.html#UNIX We follow the install.txt file set XERCESCROOT perl Makefile.PL make make test (which is never 100% ok) make install Are we leaving something out of install process?
