 George Georgalis [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 users/2008-January/008100.html reported] on macports-users that when
 MacPorts is installed in a prefix other than /opt/local, p5-xml-parser
 does not install because it cannot find expat, and I can reproduce this
 problem:

 {{{
 $ PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin \
 ./configure \
 --enable-readline \
 --prefix=/tmp/macports \
 --with-tclpackage=/tmp/macports/share/macports/Tcl \
 --with-install-user=rschmidt \
 --with-install-group=rschmidt
 $ make
 $ make install
 $ sudo mv /opt/local /opt/local-off
 Password:
 }}}

 Note that moving an existing MacPorts installation in /opt/local aside is
 essential to this reproduction recipe. If you don't do so, and your
 existing install contains expat, the install in the other prefix will
 succeed.

 Command output: Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lexpat

 Expat must be installed prior to building XML::Parser and I can't find
 it in the standard library directories. You can download expat from:

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/

 If expat is installed, but in a non-standard directory, then use the
 following options to Makefile.PL:

     EXPATLIBPATH=...  To set the directory in which to find libexpat

     EXPATINCPATH=...  To set the directory in which to find expat.h

 For example:

     perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/home/me/lib
 EXPATINCPATH=/home/me/include

 Note that if you build against a shareable library in a non-standard
 location
 you may (on some platforms) also have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 environment
 variable at run time for perl to find the library.


 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
