Yup! I learnt this the hard way the first time I installed DBD::Pg. Got some really obscure errors that really put me off, but it turned out after much pounding-of-head-against-wall that I just needed the -dev package. They contain .h files as stuff like that which is needed for building things. Having GNU locate around to find what you actually have installed is also a good thing, I have a symlink from /etc/cron.daily/updatedb to /usr/bin/updatedb but I don't know if that's the Debian Way. > After some apt-get voodoo, I managed to get libxml2-dev version > 2.6.1 (and its dependencies) installed.

Mmmm, if it was indeed 2.6.1 you installed, rather than 2.6.11, then I can understand it. Then, use the same version for everything. If it was 2.6.11, then, I don't quite, but since 2.6.11 is newer than XML::LibXML, the latter was not aware of the former when it was released. In that case, it may not mean anything. If it works for you, I wouldn't worry. Perhaps some others on the list can chime in on that? And for reference for future googlers; my original problem was in fact an obscure bug in libxslt <= 1.1.7 which I had actually relied upon, not understanding what I did was actually wrong because it worked. I just needed to make sure I used the default namespace for XHTML throughout my pipeline.
