Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing problems with the Common.dll file which is part of the XML-LibXML-Common package.

It was initially installed in a cascade of dependencies starting with Template-TAL -> XML-LibXML -> ; XML-LibXML-Common. It has never worked since I installed it (I'm having to rebuild my devlopment PC after a hard disk crash).

In Komodo 4.01, when I execute without debugging I get the following message:

Can't load 'C:/Program Files/xampp/perl/site/lib/auto/XML/LibXML/Common/Common.dll' for module file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Program Files/xampp/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

I did a: ppm> remove -force XML-LibXML-Common

And reloaded the package as follows:

ppm> s XML-LibXML-Common

The only conclusion I can come to is that the Common.dll file is not correct and the Dynamic loader can't find the corresponding APIs.

Please perhaps one of the guys that runs the Trouchelle repository could check if it's getting generated properly? (I tried the University of Winipeg repository but there are some errors in their distribution of this package.)

Any help would be welcome. If you think that this would be better handled in another list don't hesitate to tell me.

Cheers,

Steve
