I'm building a Debian Linux 'woody' system with linux kernel 2.2.20
and perl 5.6.1. I need to install XML::Parser and am encountering a
problem with expat.o:

cp Parser/LWPExternEnt.pl blib/lib/XML/Parser/LWPExternEnt.pl
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/.cpan/build/XML-Parser-2.34/Expat'
cp Expat.pm ../blib/lib/XML/Parser/Expat.pm
/usr/bin/perl /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp -noprototypes
-typemap /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap ty
pemap Expat.xs > Expat.xsc && mv Expat.xsc Expat.c
cc -c -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -DVERSION=\"2.34\
" -DXS_VERSION=\"2.34\" -fPIC "-I/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/CORE" Expat.c
Expat.xs:12: expat.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [Expat.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/.cpan/build/XML-Parser-2.34/Expat'
make: *** [subdirs] Error 2
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK

Can someone point me to a solution for this? I didt an apt-get install
expat and tried to build the xml module again, without success. I do
not want to force install. I'd really like to fix it but I need some
direction. Thanks.

It appears that I do have expat on my system from the debian apt-get
install expat:

/usr/lib/libexpat.so.0
/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1
/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1.0.0

So is this a PATH problem, and if so how do I get CPAN to look for the
correct PATH?

That's just the runtime library - it doesn't include the headers needed
to compile against expat.

apt-get install libexpat1-dev

Thank you so much. That was it! Works like a charm now.
