From: Sean on 2 Oct 2006 14:17 I downloaded the XML-Parser module from http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/XML-Parser/Parser.pm and I untar the source ball to $HOME/local/XML-Parser-2.34. Can someone give me some helps? I appreciate! Here is what I did and what errors I got: 1) sean$cd local/XML-Parser-2.34 2) XML-Parser-2.34$ ls Changes Expat MANIFEST Makefile.PL Parser Parser.pm README blib pm_to_blib samples t 3) XML-Parser-2.34$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME/local/perl Writing Makefile for XML::Parser::Expat Writing Makefile for XML::Parse 4) XML-Parser-2.34$ make make[1]: Entering directory `/home/seany/local/XML-Parser-2.34/Expat' cc -c -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -DVERSION=\"2.34\" -DXS_VERSION=\"2.34\" -fPIC "-I/usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE" Expat.c Expat.xs:12:19: error: expat.h: No such file or directory Expat.xs:60: error: syntax error before 'XML_Parser' Expat.xs:60: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union Expat.xs:78: error: syntax error before ':' token Expat.xs:79: error: syntax error before ':' token Expat.xs:80: error: syntax error before ':' token Expat.xs:106: error: syntax error before '}' token Expat.xs:106: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ......(lots of similar errors) make[1]: *** [Expat.o] Error 1

XML::Parser is a Perl wrapper for using the expat C library. Try here: http://expat.sourceforge.net/ In the meantime, you can try XML::SAX::PurePerl, but it will be much slower than XML::Parser and expat.
From: Sean on 2 Oct 2006 14:52 well, I think the C Expat library should be self-contained in this perl XML-Parser module. Here is a 'try-to-prove'. I see a Expat.c there. XML-Parser-2.34$ cd Expat/ Expat$ ls Expat.c Expat.pm Expat.xs Makefile Makefile.PL encoding.h pm_to_blib typemap So, the previous question was about why Expat.h was missing.

The missing file is expat.h, not Expat.h (case matters in Unix). expat.h is included with the expat distribution, not XML::Parser. Expat.c is generated as part of the XML::Parser build process by the xsubpp utility (see the comments in Expat.c). You will have to download and install the expat distribution if it does not exist on your system. If it does exist in a non-standard location, use the EXPINCPATH and EXPATLIBPATH arguments in the 'perl Makefile.PL ....' step to specify where the include and library files for expat may be found.

In any case, it isn't. Did you read the README? > self-contained in this perl > XML-Parser module. Here is a 'try-to-prove'.

Expat.h ne expat.h. Filenames are case-sensitive under Unix. expat is a lot more than one C file. That Expat.c is produced from Expat.xs, and is part of the glue between Perl and expat. Now, do you have expat installed somewhere weird so MakeMaker can't find it, or do you not have it installed at all? Ben -- Raise your hand if you're invulnerable. [benmorrow(a)tiscali.co.uk] |
