I have an application that requires the perl-XML-Xerces RPM. I know this is not part of the RHEL distro. I can find RPM's for RHEL4 and RHEL5, but not RHEL6. Does anyone have any ideas. I have tried compiling the RPM myself, but it chokes on the xerces-c libraries. I have been banging my head for weeks now, so any pointer in the right direction would be most welcome.

Sincerely,
C.

as root:
cpan XML::Xerces

If you havn't used cpan before it will ask you a couple of config questions but all in all it won't take too long.

Welcome to LQ!

I compiled the rpm xerces-c-2.7.0-3.x86_64.rpm and this works to fill the prerequisite nicely. When I run the command:

cpan XML::Xerces

I get the following errors:

Xerces.cpp:1219: error: expected unqualified-id before string constant
Xerces.cpp:1220: error: expected initializer before â*â token
Xerces.cpp:1225: error: âSwigPerlWrapperPtrâ does not name a type
Xerces.cpp:69331: error: too many initializers for âswig_command_infoâ (A whole slew of these)

Then:

Xerces.cpp: In function âvoid boot_XML__Xerces(PerlInterpreter*, CV*)â:
Xerces.cpp:69557: error: âstruct swig_command_infoâ has no member named âwrapperâ

followed by an error 1 and it craps out.

Any ideas? I know it has to be something simple that I am just missing.

Thanks for the assistance!
