Yup, ignorable, according to Michael, as you might have seen. > cc -c -I/usr/include/libxml2 -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing > -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 > -DVERSION=\"1.58\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.58\" -fPIC > -I/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/CORE -DHAVE_UTF8 -DHAVE_BLANK perl-libxml-mm.c > perl-libxml-mm.c: In function `nodeC2Sv': > perl-libxml-mm.c:968: parse error before `*' > perl-libxml-mm.c:972: `decoded' undeclared (first use in this > function) perl-libxml-mm.c:972: (Each undeclared identifier is > reported only once perl-libxml-mm.c:972: for each function it appears > in.) > make[1]: *** [perl-libxml-mm.o] Error 1 > > I googled around for a bit and found a post detailing a bug that > caused the troubles listed above with XML-LibXML v 1.58, which is the > version I am trying to install.

I think I'm with 1.57, still but I suppose I'll take that as a warning an defer upgrading to 1.59 is released... :-) > (AxKit, or CPAN, I'm not sure which, tries to install the > buggy version.)

Well, when there's headers files missing, it is almost always due to a missing -dev... I haven't yet had any problems with paths of any kinds on Debian with foreign packages, Debian's default paths are usually flexible enough to deal with things like that. They usually mix quite well. Therefore, my first thought when bumping into such things is rarely to assume that something is in the wrong place, usually it is just missing completely. That rule may not always be a good one, though. Anyway, the only apache-related -dev I could find on my system is apache-dev, do you have that?
