This can be fixed easily by changing "void*" to "byte*" in the 
Tidy::Buffer::Attach call in tidyx.h.  Another TidyLib delta I need to 
track (or perhaps a compiler difference).

Can you verify that it is finding the wrapper lib?  It looks almost like it 
can't find the library at all.  I have been working on Solaris so much the 
last year or so that my Linux has faded.  Does Linux use the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to find shared libs?  If not, what is 
the equivalent?  Also, does Linux support the "ldd" command (and the -s 
option)?  If so, add this command to the generated Makefile just before it 
runs the Perl tests to see if all necessary libs are available.

I have a Linux system, but I rarely boot it and I am running gcc 2.9.5.  So 
I cannot reproduce the problem exactly.  Oh, and I definitely do not have a 
Mac (just noticed the Darwin above).  Anyway, find a way on your 
Unix-like-substance to validate all shared libs are available.

hth,
Charlie
