artist has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,
While installing XML::Parser, I am running to a weired problem.
I am trying to install this in my directory and everything works fine except when I run make install.
It gives me the message 
make:don't know how to make pure_lib_install. Stop"
I am using freeBSD, perl 5.005. I don't have control over perl version. And I am trying to install version 2.29 XML::Parser
. I search the web with no avail.

Thanks, Artist.

    Is Expat installed properly? The Makefile.PL does look for the libexpat library, but your install may possibly be too old or hosed or something.

    Your error message looks more like a problem with your makefile, but I'm assuming you've already looked at that. So if you're stumped, Expat is the next thing I'd check.
