Thanks, Tom, I figured it was failing one of the tests but wasn't sure if I could safely ignore it or not. I patched it and it worked fine - XML::LibXSLT is now installed, according to the CPAN shell.
I moved onto installing Sablot (used latest version 1.0.1 instead of 0.98 mentioned on the site) and it fails on ./configure because it can't find expat. I definitely installed expat seemingly without any problems (including the patch as documented on http://www.axkit.org/wiki/view/AxKit/AxKitRedHat9#) and I can see the related files in /usr/local/include, /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin. I've messed with the environment variables as mentioned in the INSTALL file of Sablot but, again, to no avail. :( I'm REALLY sorry for being a total newbie here (I know I'm no linux guru but this is proving far more challenging than I ever imagined!) but if you can shed any light on why it's not finding expat in /usr/local/include I'd be grateful again!
