I don't know if this will help or not. I've recently been installing XML::Parser and expat on Solaris, so it's different, but before I ran make, I had to edit the Makefile.PL file to add the $expat_libpath and $expat_incpath variables:

$expat_libpath = 'path/to/expat/lib';
$expat_incpath = 'path/to/expat/include';

I don't know if that will help you or not, but it's worth looking at.

Cheers,

Brent


-- Yeah, I'm a Delt.

I have made sure the LIBPATH and INCPATH are set correctly. If I don't set them I get errors that it can't find expat.h during compilation and can't resolve the libraries during the link phase. It is building a Expat.dll, Expat.dll.manifest, Expat.exp, Expat.lib, and Expat.pdb files but everything fails during testing.
