Sorry, not sure here. Did you set XERCES_CONFIG properly? If so,
please show me the output of Makefile.PL, thanks.

Unfortunately, it's not very unlikey to help. Those inline
declarations in Xerces-c are causing the trouble. I've just tried
building the XML-Xerces-2.3.0-4 code against the latest CVS snapshot,
and unfortunately they've changed the public API again.

So you have a few choices:

* build xerces-c-2.3.0 from source, and then delete the offending
  inline directives from XMLPlatformUtils.cpp

* I can add %ignore directives in XML-Xerces to eliminate offending
  methods from Xerces.so

* wait for me to make an experimental XML-Xerces-2.4 release so that
  you can build against the CVS Xerces-C snapshot.

The first is probably the most flexible.

I don't think so. If you look at the list archives for last month,
you'll see three other reports of this same problem. In all cases that
I know of, removing the inline directives solved the problem.
