Re: Around in circles installing Lib-XML on Windows

My apologies for not cc'ing the list last time.

I did indeed follow the bug report where applicable. It says to install the prereqs I listed below. The instructions about modifying Makefile.PL were redundant as the library was already listed (I believe that was fixed in 1.85 and I am using 1.87). I cannot use the same version of Perl that Mithaldu used - I am forced to use 5.8.9. Apart from that I can't see anything I missed.

The include flag I used is a capital I (the letter after H) but tI guess I typed it incorrectly in my previous note - the machine I am using is completely isolated and I have to retype everything.
