Thanks Emmet.  I'm guessing you're right, the LD_RUN_PATH mechanisms is
somehow not right in the Makefile script.  I'm not sure that it will fix
my problem, but at least I could rule it out if it were fixed.

P.S.  Thanks for the suggestion, I did exactly as you suggested, and
still am receiving the error.  Phew!  This one has got me beat...

P.P.S.  I'm copying the XML::Parser author on this so perhaps he can
take a look at the Makefile problem.
