Failed in installing XML::LibXML

[whn]

I am having difficulties in installing XML::LibXML.

Below is my system:

[b]% cat /etc/issue[/b]
Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l

[b]% perl -v[/b]

This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 41 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

I have successfully ran the following cmd before my installation:

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

The cmd I use to install:

[b]% sudo cpanm XML::LibXML[/b]

If you install via RPMs, make sure you also install the -devel
RPMs, as this is where the headers (.h files) are.

Also, you may try to run perl Makefile.PL with the DEBUG=1 parameter
to see the exact reason why the detection of libxml2 installation
failed or why Makefile.PL was not able to compile a test program.

Thanks for the help.

I'd guess that libxml-2.x != libxml2.

I think Annihilannic is correct, I recently had a similar problem.
XML::LibXML is an interface for libxml2, so it needs to be installed on your system first.

I just type "xmllint --version" to see if it's been installed.
