I'm unable to install XML::LIbXML either via CPAN or by compiling the source directly. I'm running WXP Home, cygwin, and WebServe (ActivePerl). Perl version 5.8.7.
When I try to compile/install it tells me it can't find -lxml2 and -llibxml2. I have installed both of these ( c libraries ) in my cygwin installation and tried passing the path to them on the command line with LIBS='-l/cygdrive/c/cygwin/lib' and LIBS='c:\cygwin\lib' CPAN: cpan> install XML::LibXML Running install for module XML::LibXML Running make for P/PH/PHISH/XML-LibXML-1.58.tar.gz Is already unwrapped into directory \.cpan\build\XML-LibXML-1.58 Makefile.PL returned status 512 Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test Running make install Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install ...when I pass along the path to the LIBS like this: cpan> install XML::LibXML LIBS='-l/cygdrive/c/cygwin/lib' It still fails but it invokes ncftp and goes off somewhere and gets lost: Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.

In each case it seems the compile is failing because the compile process can't find the libxml2 library. I'm unfamiliar with perl compiles, so I may be issuing the library path directive incorrectly. Please advise. Thanks in advance.
