Hi,

It fails at the starting point. That is, perl Makefile.PL. It barfs becauses it cant locate libexpat.so. If Ext::Liblist followed LD_LIBRARY_PATH then it would see it.

The suggestion about using a soft link would probably solve the problem but I dont have root on that particular machine.

I was aware about the suggestion about using the environment variable EXT... although the same documentation indicated that using LD_LIBRARY_PATH could resolve the problem as well.

I did read the various documentation, searched the web, tried setting various environment variables on different platforms, etc.

In summary, if there is no other way then I will use the environment variable mentioned above. I guess I am just abit surprised that something like Ext::Liblist isnt very flexible (i.e. can't search LD_LIBRARY_PATH or a similar type of environment variable) - since it's such a standard package of perl and perl being a very flexible swiss army knife.

Fairchild.
