Error: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so'

I'm trying to install XML::RSS on a CentOS release 5.2 (Final) server via CPAN


after installing expat from source :-

tar xvzf expat-2.0.1.tar.gz
cd expat-2.0.1
./configure
make
make install

I type

perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::RSS'

but I get the following error
...

even though the file /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so exists

[root@dev7 expat-2.0.1]# ls -la /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so

[root@dev7 expat-2.0.1]#


Does anyone know how to resolve this?


Thanks,
