Summary: CPAN archive missing expat.h file or not being built

Initial Comment:
Upon downloading the currently available CPAN archive for XML::Parser, the module could not be installed using 'make' under RedHat Linux Mandrake 7.0. Running the Makefile.PL complains that Expat is not installed. When moving to the Expat dir and attempting to run the 'Makefile' created by Makefile.PL, the compiler errors on a missing expat.h file. Without installing Expat, XML::Parser cannot be installed.

The trick that I found was to first install the development
version of expat (for me that means apt-get install
libexpat1-dev).  Once I did this, and did a clean
XML::Parser, then make XML::Parser, everything went smoothly.

ymmv

expat has to be installed for XML::Parser to find expat.h (which comes with the expat (i.e. this) distribution.
