XercesPerl with ICU on Linux

[Luis Argerich <lr...@yahoo.com>]

HI all,

I've succesfully compiled, installed and tested the Xerces Perl module =
with XercesC 1.5.2, however, I need support
for latin codes using iso-8859 so correct me if I'm wrong but I do have =
to compile Xerces with ICU.

I compile Xerces 1.5.2 with ICU (-t icu) without problems but when I =
recompile the Perl module I get a lot of
errors in the "make test" phase such as:

DIED. FAILED tests 1-6
        Failed 6/6 tests, 0.00% okay
t/SAXParser.........Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/XML/Xerces/Xerces.so' for =
module XML::Xerces: =
/home/luigi/xerces-c-src1_5_2/lib/libxerces-c1_5_2.so: undefined symbol: =
icudata_dat at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux/DynaLoader.pm line =
206.
 at blib/lib/XML/Xerces.pm line 7


All the errors are like this one, "undefined symbol icudata_dat" perhaps =
I must set some environment variable when compiling the perl module or =
something
like that.

If you know how to help me I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Luis.

No you don't need ICU. XML::Xerces uses the builtin transcoders for
ISO-8859-1 so you should be fine: at least I've gotten one report of
success using it for Czech.

It's a dynamic loading error, so my first guess is always that you're
not setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include libicu*.so libraries.

But you don't need ICU, so I would just re-build Xerces-C without it.
