Re: Installing XML::Parser

From the README:

This is a Perl extension interface to James Clark's XML parser, expat.
It requires at least version 5.004 of perl and it requires that you ha
+ve
release 1.95.0 or greater of expat installed. You can download expat
from:

         http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/
[download]

Everything is there.

Yeah, that's where I got the source tarball from. But is there anywhere in particular I should install it? /bin? /usr/bin? /lib/expat.dll? OK, I just configured, built, and installed it to the default, which is /usr/local/{bin\|lib}. But I still get the original error message. How exactly do I figure out where perl is looking for my code at? For that matter, how do I figure out what code perl is looking for? I've stared at Expat.pm, but as I don't know perl nothing jumps out at me.	[reply]

I don't know the particulars of how Cygwin manages its shell environment, and I would have expected the XML::Parser module installation to look in /usr/local/lib by default. Just as a wild guess, you might try doing this in the shell before you try installing the module: `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib` [download] That's what I would do if I was having this sort of trouble on a unix box. Whether Cygwin goes to this length in emulating unix is outside my experience.	[reply] [d/l]

As the great one said, There's More Than One Way To Do It. I uninstalled the Cygwin perl, installed ActivePerl, and now things work like a champ. Seems like cheating, but hey!	[reply]
