problem building gnupod

[George Georgalis]

I'm not sure what the problem is here, expat is installed
(subversion, at least, is using it) but p5-xml-parser won't go
in because it cannot find it. I've tried exporting EXPATLIBPATH
and EXPATINCPATH but still no cookie. (I have synced and cleaned
installed too.) What could be wrong?

Command output: Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lexpat

Expat must be installed prior to building XML::Parser and I can't find
it in the standard library directories. You can download expat from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/

If expat is installed, but in a non-standard directory, then use the
following options to Makefile.PL:

    EXPATLIBPATH=...  To set the directory in which to find libexpat

    EXPATINCPATH=...  To set the directory in which to find expat.h

For example:

    perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/home/me/lib EXPATINCPATH=/home/me/include

Note that if you build against a shareable library in a non-standard location
you may (on some platforms) also have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable at run time for perl to find the library.


Error: The following dependencies failed to build: p5-xml-parser
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
