XML::Parser::Expat install problem

Hi

I am trying to install this module. I have installed XML-Parser-2.34 and
this seems to be ok. It is supposed to install XML::Expat with it.

On my system it seems to have partly installed XML:;Expat. I have:

Expat::Expat.so
Expat.Expat.bs - which is in fact empty.

However when I try to use this in a Perl Script it fails with this message:

'/usr/home/xxx/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-freebsd/auto/XML/Par
ser/Expat/Expat.so' for module XML::Parser::Expat: Shared object
"libexpat.so.5" not found at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-freebsd/DynaLoader.pm line 206.

I dedice from this that the libexpat.so.5 compiled file is missing. I have
tried installing Expat directly rather than as part of the XML-Parser-2.34
build from CPAN. Doing this with expat-1.95.6 it does install expat.so.4
(not in my Perl libaries - but still it looks promising.

So I tried doing this with expat-1.95.8 which I got as a .tar.gz file from
sourceforge.net and my attempts to unzip and uncompress this all fail.

Can anyone tell me how I can get libexpat.so.5 installed onto my system ?


Many thanks for any help
