the ./configure script is telling you that it requires XML::Parser perl module. Perl models can be confusing to install the first time ,but You will need to learn how to install perl modules sooner or later. There is couple ways to install perl modules:

1- thourgh CPAN website. click on http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/XM...2.34/Parser.pm
unpack the then cd into the directory and issue the following command:

Code:

perl Makefile.PL
      make && make check
      make install

2- by using CPAN shell. To access CPAN shell, issue the following command:

Code:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

this command will ask you some questions to prepeare the shell which downloads perl modules directly fro CPAN's website and installs then for you. The most important question, is what mirrors you want CPAN shell to pull installation sources from. The command above should show you somethings like this at some point:

Code:

(1) Africa
(2) Asia
(3) Central America
(4) Europe
(5) North America
(6) Oceania
(7) South America
Select your continent (or several nearby continents) [] 5
(1) Bahamas
(2) Canada
(3) Mexico
(4) United States
Select your country (or several nearby countries) [] 4
Sorry! since you don't have any existing picks, you must make a
geographic selection.

i usually choose couple of mirrors here to insure that i'm going to get installation file if some mirrors are down. After choosing the mirrors, you should issue the following command in the CPAN shell:

Code:

cpan> install XML::Parser

next time you issue

Code:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

you will find yourself in the CPAN shell and can issue install commands all over.

3- i would think that there is RPM packages for XML::Parser. i will leave that search for you.

Don't mess with CPAN. There are plenty of Perl modules in the official repos.

Code:

yum list perl\*

[QUOTE=hollywoodb]Don't mess with CPAN. There are plenty of Perl modules in the official repos.

there might be perl modules from repos but they're not always fully updated. Latest perl modules are not insteantly reflected to rpm. with perl i like to install from source and see what

Code:

make check

output will give me. make check will tell you for sure if the module will surly work after installation or not.

let's say that you downloaded the tar.gz file on the desktop. open terminal and do the following:

Code:

$ su root                         
$ tar zxvf XML-Parser-2.34.tar.gz 
$ cd XML-Parser-2.34/
$ perl Makefile.pl
$ make 
$ make check
$ make install

post more questions if you have any

Fedora Core 6 has anjuta 2.x in the YUM repos, so you could save yourself time and effort by installing it using YUM.
