problems installing XML::Parser

[DoraC]

Hi,

I'm working with our HP-UNIX admin to get XML:arser installed, so that we can process XML in our Perl programs. We've loaded Expat (required for XML:arser) and XML:arser (downloaded from CPAN). However, I've tried to run a *very* simple program to test the parser out, and get what appear to be Expat linkage errors... e.g.

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: XML_ParserCreate_MM (code)  from /opt/perl5/
lib/site_perl/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.sl
Abort(coredump)

Does Expat depend upon anything else in order to run? Does anybody know of some good installation documentation for this product (which I downloaded from SourceForge). Or - is my interpretation of this error wrong? This is a frustrating situation because - as I don't have root access - I can't play around with these installations myself (i need to instruct the admin on what to do, instead).

Any help greatly appreciated -
Dora

When I used eXpat, I've loaded it with XML_ParserCreate. I had not used the _MM extension you have there. Yet, you could be using a newer version, but try that.
Besides, eXpat does not need anything else. [red]Nosferatu[/red]
