Ok thanks for the pointer it seems there is something very broken with GCC
on this machine, which atcually doesn't surprise me thinking about it. I
have another Sol 8 machine which has libxml2 installed in the same place
and on that machine I have completed 'perl Makefile.pl' 'make' and 'make
test' with no errors, I have not done the final 'make install' is it now an
option for me to copy these files over to the real machine and run the
'make install' there. Also before the install is run where do the files
which will be installed reside, I'd like to try and create a solaris
package from them if that is possible. Apologies if some of these questions
sound a little dumb, I don't really have that much perl module experience.

Thanks
