in reply to Unable to install XML::LibXML

In which path did you install libxml2? I expect Makefile.PL to only search the standard directories for libraries and headers (like /lib/ and /usr/lib/), if you installed it somewhere else you need to tell it about those paths.

      The PATH environment variable is unrelated to the compiler/linker finding libraries...

      But as you're saying you have the lib installed in /usr/lib (which is a default library search path), I suppose the problem is that the installation somehow didn't succeed...  Did you actually run ./configure --prefix=/usr ; make install (the default installation prefix would be /usr/local) from the directory where you unpacked the libxml2 sources (the tarball you downloaded), and did the build and installation complete without errors?

      That's not quite what I asked.

      What steps did you do to install libmlx2?
