Folks,

I was just wondering if anyone successfully installed the XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT Perl modules on Jaguar. I corresponded a bit with the author and he is aware that it works fine on 10.1 (I had it working) and it does not on 10.2. The module hasn't changed since last October or so. He has no Apple hardware to chase down the solution and it works everywhere else. He said if I, or anyone else I suppose, got it to install with some technique he would appreciate the info.

Here's what I have for environment:
---
% date ; sw_vers ; echo "libxml2: `xml2-config --version`"
Sun Mar 16 09:48:44 EST 2003
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.2.4
BuildVersion:   6I32
libxml2: 2.4.30

% perl -v | head -2

This is perl, v5.6.0 built for darwin
---

libxml2 is installed via fink, which has given me no trouble in a number of other installs. (X runs successfully, etc.) I did try someone's frameworks version of libxml2 with similar results. (I tried 5.8 at one point and had no success either. After seeing all the back and forth on 5.6.0 vs 5.8, I wiped the drive and reinstalled 10.2.4 to get back to Apple standard.)

Here's what I get using CPAN to install XML::LibXML 1.53:

I did see this go by...
---
running gdome-config...failed
GDOME support is optional and is not required for running
---
t/08findnodes....dubious
        Test returned status 0 (wstat 10, 0xa)
DIED. FAILED tests 6-18
        Failed 13/18 tests, 27.78% okay
---

and finally:
---
Failed Test     Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/08findnodes.t    0    10    18   13  72.22%  6-18
1 test skipped.

make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 35
  /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
---

I get the same results after cd-ing to the build directory, doing a 'make distclean' and attempting an install. I did try the working version of LibXML (1.54_3) at one point with no success.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
