[Chris Lacy-Hulbert] [announce] XML-Xerces-2.3.0-4

["Jason E. Stewart" <ja...@openinformatics.com>]

Hi Jason,

I was searching around to find a way of subscribing to the xml-xerces
mailing list, but could only find the archives and no 'signup' page. Well
hey, let's see how this goes :-)

Anyway, I'm trying to install XML::Xerces on a system running Slackware
Linux and perl 5.8.0  - i.e. a pretty much normal setup.

I have installed the xerces-c-src_2_5_0 API and built it and installed it.
I started with version 2_6_0, but got version errors when I attempted to
build the perl module, so I compiled 2_5_0 and did 'make install'.  This
gave some errors because some .so files already existed, however I was then
able to run 'perl Makefile.PL'  without error. Good so far..

I then run 'make test'  and my terminal sits there for quite a while, before
finally dying as follows:

I have googled and fiddled with the makefile, but I'm totally unable to get
this working. Is it my fault?  What is this -lxerces-c  thing all about?
Looks like it's unable to find something.

Hope there are some ideas out there.

TIA,

Christo

Xerces is an apache project - http://xml.apache.org/ you can find more
information about XML-Xerces (Xerces-Perl) and Xerces-C there,
including information about signing up for the mailing list.

Ok - no one's tested on slackware that I know of, so that might be
something.

yup - explained in the README

it is the dynamic library that should have been installed by your
Xerces-C install - it seems that under slackware it is called
something different, or you installed it someplace non-traditional and
didn't set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH...

Cheers,
jas.
