2003-02-15 Thread Richard Jolly
Hi, I'm having trouble installing XML::Parser using because it can't find the -lexpat library, which has been installed by fink into /sw/lib/. I don't know if I can change perl's libpth without recompiling. From an archived message on this list I gathered I could set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_L

I've newly installed 10.2 and perl 5.8. Being quite new to this kind of thing, I followed the instructions at http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/perl.html to the letter. All was well, until I tried to install Bundle::CPAN in the cpan shell. I don't know if its relevant, but I was unsu
