Fellow Monks!

Either I'm daft, or I need my next week's holiday more desperately than I'd like to think.

I have installed Perl 5.8.0 on my machine (SuSe Linux 7.2), and most of it works fine. Except...

... except that when using XML::Parser (and some other modules, in fact), every script gives the following error and dies: 

/usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i586-linux/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.
+so: undefined symbol: Perl_safemalloc

I have searched both PM and the internet for a solution, but so far nothing has come up. I feel that somehow I forgot, or broke, something during compiling, but I can't see what.

Maybe I should just have used a prebuilt Perl...

Humbly seeking enlightenment,
