Thread: Using XML::XPath without Expat installed




Using XML::XPath without Expat installed

I understand that XML::XPath requires XML::Parser which in turns require the expat c library to be installed.

However due to portability issues, i am unable to install expat library onto my aix machine. But i have the binaries for expat libraries. So my question is, has anyone successfully made use of the binaries and linked it up with XML::Parser module?

If there is no solution for this, is there any alternatives modules i can use for XPath that is pure perl and does not requires any libraries to be installed?

Appreciate any help.

In your case, why not use XML::LibXML? It's a more powerful (and faster) module anyway. Its requirement is libxml2, for which you can get AIX binaries straight from IBM:
 
 
You may need libxml2-devel, too--I forget.
