Hello, I am new to Perl and wanted to install XML::LibXSLT because it is required for a module called biber. When trying to make and install the module LibXSLT I get the following error: make XML::LibXSLT Running make for module 'XML::LibXSLT' Checksum for /home/abb/.local/share/.cpan/sources/authors/id/S/SH/SHLOMIF/XML-LibXSLT-1.95.tar.gz ok Scanning cache /home/abb/.local/share/.cpan/build for sizes ............................................................................DONE Configuring S/SH/SHLOMIF/XML-LibXSLT-1.95.tar.gz with Makefile.PL running xslt-config... failed using fallback values for LIBS and INC options: LIBS='-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lxslt -lxml2 -lz -lm' INC='-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include' If this is wrong, Re-run as: $ /usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/path/to/lib' INC='-I/path/to/include' looking for -lxslt... no libxslt not found Try setting LIBS and INC values on the command line Or get libxslt and libxml2 from http://www.libxml.org/ If you install via RPMs, make sure you also install the -devel RPMs, as this is where the headers (.h files) are.

You need on install additional OS packages first, namely libxslt with devel headers. Depending on your OS these are differently named. CPAN::Plugin::Sysdeps lists the following package names for some popular OS: [os_freebsd, [package => 'libxslt']], [like_debian, [package => ['libxslt1-dev', 'libgdbm-dev']]], [like_fedora, [package => 'libxslt-devel']]],
