Any ideas on what I need to do?

I avoid Fink like the plague.

In trying to install XML::Parser with CPAN, I got exactly the same 
message as you did.  I therefore followed the instructions:

       "You can download expat from:
        http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/";

Did that, moved the folder to my home directory, and read the file
~/expat-1.95.8/README without too much attention in order not to 
confuse myself.

Next:

        % sudo -s
       
        % cd
        % cd expat*
        % ./configure
        % make
        % make install
        % cpan
        cpan> install XML::Parser
        [...]
        Appending installation info to
          /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/darwin-2level/perllocal.pod
          /usr/bin/make install UNINST=1  -- OK
        cpan> exit
        %
