in reply to Re^4: use XML::LibXML; is causing compile error
in thread use XML::LibXML; is causing compile error

I had already tried that, i.e. "accept their offer" but it didn't work either. I should have mentioned that in Update 2. I have some options left which I will try as well (given time...). But after reading Problems installing XML::LibXML for Perl5.10 on Win32 platform I got a bit depressed (reinventing buggy wheels?). I am going to try to build it myself and keep my eye on my bug report.

Cheers
Harry

    Good luck. I discovered I already have the XML library (libxml2.a) and, you're right, the XML::LibXML-1.66 source looks pretty fucked:
    C:\_32\comp\XML-LibXML-1.66>perl Makefile.pl INC="-IC:/_32/msys/1.0/lo +cal/include" LIBS="-LC:/_32/msys/local/lib -lxml2" enable native perl UTF8 looking for -lxml2... yes Warning: prerequisite XML::LibXML::Common 0.13 not found. Warning: prerequisite XML::NamespaceSupport 1.07 not found. Warning: prerequisite XML::SAX 0.11 not found. Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lxml2 Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lzlib Writing Makefile for XML::LibXML
    Personally, if I was in a hurry to get this working (which I'm not) I'd try the uwinnipeg binaries.

    Cheers,
