Thanks, Brian! This is a little scary stuff for me I have to admit. I spent some time looking through the Makefile.PL now and I am really not sure what to change (I am afraid to break something). If I do find out, should I then just run "sudo make install" in that directory? And, should I then do the same in the other directories that cpan downloaded, like "XML-LibXML-Common-0.13/", "XML-NamespaceSupport-1.08/", "XML-SAX-0.12/"? I sure wish this was easier. I keep wondering why I didn't have problems the first time around, and my guess is it's that I didn't install libxml using Fink, then. I guess cpan is confused by the location in which Fink installs the files, right? Thanks, Ingo
