Hi Steven,

Yes, *only* 2.6.0

it is possible that it might work with work with other versions - but
highly unlikely, so I try to make that very clear in the README.

you are correct that you do not need to install xerces-c - but it is
usually convenient to do so - otherwise you will need to set your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that linux's dynamic loader will be able to find
the xerces-c dynamic library that XML-Xerces links with when it
builds. 

Cheers,
jas.
