Problem installing XML::Checker gary.thrapp 03-21-2007

I'm new to working with the perl installation process. I'm trying to
install XML::Checker for perl on cygwin. I ran the command: cpan -i
XML::Checker.

For each dependency there seems be a problem when writing the
Makefile. The same problem happens when trying to install the
dependencies separately. Can anyone please provide suggestions? The
partial output follows:

That output is not terribly helpful.
What do you get if you cd to the build directory and run 'make' ?

Cheers,
Rob

XML::Checker is a very old module. It is not really maintained.

If you need XML validation, you should install libxml2 and then use
XML::LibXML (or just xmllint, the tool that comes with libxml2).

If you can't do that, it looks like the problem comes with modules in
the libxml-perl bundle. Try installing the modules from their own
distributions, starting with XML::DOM and then XML::Parser::PerlSAX.
