Title: [announce] XML-Xerces-2.3.0-4

Hi Jason,

I was searching around to find a way of subscribing to the xml-xerces mailing list, but could only find the archives and no ‘signup’ page… Well hey, let’s see how this goes J

Anyway, I’m trying to install XML::Xerces on a system running Slackware Linux and perl 5.8.0  - i.e. a pretty much normal setup.

I have installed the xerces-c-src_2_5_0 API and built it and installed it.   I started with version 2_6_0, but got version errors when I attempted to build the perl module, so I compiled 2_5_0 and did ‘make install’.  This gave some errors because some .so files already existed, however I was then able to run ‘perl Makefile.PL’  without error. Good so far..

I then run ‘make test’  and my terminal sits there for quite a while, before finally dying as follows:

I have googled and fiddled with the makefile, but I’m totally unable to get this working. Is it my fault?  What is this –lxerces-c  thing all about? Looks like it’s unable to find something.

Hope there are some ideas out there.

TIA,

Christo
