RE: xerces - need 2.3.0 src

Re:
 This is by design: setup will not let you install the sources for any
 other version of a package if you have some version of the binaries
 installed.  There are two ways to go about this: either downgrade to 2.3.0
 temporarily, install the sources, and upgrade back, or just download the
 sources directly from any mirror without using setup (e.g., via wget).

Thanks Igor. 
I actually did downgrade xerces-c to 2.3.0 by way of the 'prev' 
selection in setup and the binaries appear to be 2.3.0
After having done this, I selected the src install for xerces in setup 
and the source tree that was copied into /usr/src was 'xerces-c-2.4.0-1' 

On your sugestion, I have located and downloaded a 2.3.0 src on one of
the mirrors.
Looks like this will work.
Thanks again.

 Hello,

 I have been trying to get XML::xerces - Perl XML Parser - working with
 my cygwin installation.  XML::xerces is currently at version 2.3.0_4 and
 requires xerces-C-2.3.0 - which is available in the cygwin distribution.
 However, the XML::xerces needs the xerces source files in addition to
 the binaries.

 The current version of xerces-c in the cygwin distribution is 2.4.0.
 If I try to get xerces-c-2.3.0 source (via cygwin setup.exe installer),
 what I in fact end up with is the source tree for xerces-c-2.4.0-1

 Can anyone help or advise?
 thanks,
 Steve.
