When I make expat, I skipped the autoconf section since it said this was if I checked it out from CVS. Since I didn't and none of the directories looked like CVS ones, I started with the configure.
./configure make make install
This worked for me. I can't remember which mirror I got it from but it was one of the North American ones from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/expat/expat-1.95.6.tar.gz?download

Hi there,
my goal is to install XML::Simple, but installation tells me "You must install either XML::SAX or XML::Parser before XML::Simple"
So far, so good. But installing XML::Parser tells me "Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lexpat", and this is probably everything but harmless, as the rest of the compile just blows errors at me (Expat.xs:12:19: expat.h: No such file or directory... and many more...)
So I got myself expat-1.95.6 from sourceforge (added the get-version.sh file http://mail.libexpat.org/pipermail/expat-checkins/2002-May/ 000298.html) and did autoconf, ./configure, only to find that make gives me:
"lib/xmltok.h:143: syntax error, found `*'
lib/xmltok.h:143: illegal member declaration, missing name, found `)'
[... and many more]
So has anyone successfully installed XML::Parser? My problem for now is partially solved, as I was able to install XML::SAX, satisfying the requirements for XML::Simple, but I may need XML::Parser at some later date.
Thanks,
Alex
