Sorry - forgot to mention, this is on debian, using the apt-get xerces as illustrated in the terminal output before. Please let me know if you need more info.

It was a version mismatch: cpan install XML::Xerces version didn't match the already-installed apt-get package for libxereces. There were no warnings. Later, when by chance updating the apt-get package for libxereces, I got the most recent version, and *then* got a warning from Makefile.PL. Mind you, this is now cpantest -g fail: I've attached the details. Thanks for reading... lee

Hi, I am also getting the similar errors when I try to download XML::Xerces module. Well I have never used Xerces api before and I havent installed it either but I was going through the ReadMe file in CPAN XML::Xerces and it mentions that: "If you wish to make Xerces-C available to other applications, you may install it however it is not necessary to do so in order to build XML::Xerces. To build XML::Xerces from an uninstalled Xerces-C set the XERCESCROOT environment variable the top-level directory of the source directory (i.e. the same value it needs to be to build Xerces-C): export XERCESCROOT=/home/jasons/xerces-&XERCES_C_VERSION;/ " So I have done that and now when I try to install XML::Xerces, it gives me the similar error: Couldn't find XercesVersion.hpp in your include directory /home/XXX/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/include at Makefile.PL line 188. Is there any one who has solved this problem? Thanks, Chirag

Thanks for showing that the README has typos ;-) Also, it appears that you did not *build* xerces-c. To build XML-Xerces you must build Xerces-C - but you don't have to install it. All this will change for Xerces-3.0, but for 2.7 you must follow the build instructions distributed with Xerces-c. In brief: 1) go to XERCESCROOT/src/xerces and run the configure script 2) run 'make' The more detailed instructions are at: http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/build.html after that the XERCESCROOT directory will be created and it will have the header files needed to build XML-Xerces.
