Fellow Monks!

Either I'm daft, or I need my next week's holiday more desperately than I'd like to think.

I have installed Perl 5.8.0 on my machine (SuSe Linux 7.2), and most of it works fine. Except...

... except that when using XML::Parser (and some other modules, in fact), every script gives the following error and dies:

/usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i586-linux/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.
+so: undefined symbol: Perl_safemalloc
[download]

I have searched both PM and the internet for a solution, but so far nothing has come up. I feel that somehow I forgot, or broke, something during compiling, but I can't see what.

Maybe I should just have used a prebuilt Perl...

Humbly seeking enlightenment,

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
