XML::Xerces 2.6.0 requires xerces-c 2.6.0 ONLY ?

["Richardson, Steven" <sr...@sonusnet.com>]

Hi:
 
First time xerces newbie question:
 
I'll be soon trying to install XML::Xerces 2.6.0  (I believe 2.6.0 is the latest stable release).  The XML::Xerces 2.6.0 readme says it requires Apache Xerces C++ XML Parser version 2.6.0.  Does it mean ONLY that specific release, or can I use xerces-c 2.7.0 binary as found at http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/download.cgi ?
 
I'll probably try this on a Linux box, initially, which has Perl 5.8.0 and gcc 3.2.3.  Looks like if I use the  <http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/xerces-c/binaries/xerces-c_2_7_0-redhat_AS4-gcc_343.tar.gz> xerces-c_2_7_0-redhat_AS4-gcc_343.tar.gz binary that I don't necessarily have to install xerces-c, but can rather point to it via the XERCESCROOT env variable.
 
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
 
  Thanks, Steve

Hi Steven,

Yes, *only* 2.6.0

it is possible that it might work with work with other versions - but
highly unlikely, so I try to make that very clear in the README.

you are correct that you do not need to install xerces-c - but it is
usually convenient to do so - otherwise you will need to set your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that linux's dynamic loader will be able to find
the xerces-c dynamic library that XML-Xerces links with when it
builds. 

Cheers,
jas.
