hi paul
i could install it on the same environment.
i think it was necessary to give the exact path for
expat.h and libexpat.a into the compilation/configuration.
see the readme file that comes with expat and XML::Parser
hope this helps you along
cannot remember every exact step now...
but it works!
cheers
christian
ps: i suppose you have the os x developer kit installed
otherwise 'make' doesn't work. you also need the original
'head' file, i guess. (not the one u get from an eventual LWP
install...)
