libxslt not found
We are trying to install your http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/XML-LibXSLT-1.58/LibXSLT.pm
Using a sunfreeware.com Xslt C library, file name libxml2-2.6.16-sol8-sparc-local.gz , I got this error after executing perl Makefile.PL
# perl Makefile.PL
running xslt-config... ok
looking for -lxslt... no
libxslt not found
Try setting LIBS and INC values on the command line
Or get libxslt and libxml2 from
http://www.libxml.org/
If you install via RPMs, make sure you also install the -devel
RPMs, as this is where the headers (.h files) are.
Using pkgadd d the library was installed in:
# ls /usr/local/lib
libexslt.a libexslt.so.0.8.2 libstdc++.la libxslt.a libxslt.so.1.1.2 libz.so.1.2.1
libexslt.la libgcc_s.so libstdc++.so libxslt.la libz.a pkgconfig
libexslt.so libgcc_s.so.1 libstdc++.so.6 libxslt.so libz.so sparcv9
libexslt.so.0 libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.6.0.1 libxslt.so.1 libz.so.1 xsltConf.sh
Inside the file Makefile.PL this line points to:
$config{LIBS} = '-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lxslt -lxml2 -lz -lm';
--which is apparently creating the above error.
We did also visit http://www.libxml.org/ --as recommended--
But we found the single download file of what seems to be source code only, no instructions or make files, etc. That is why we are using the sun freeware.
We are running Solaris 8.
Hope this is clear and complete enough. Can you see what we are doing wrong? We tried a lot more than I show here, but it all boils down to this, as shown.

Just reading through the Makefile.PL, I find it a little hard to follow with any certainty. It looks to me that it should be working ok for you - but perhaps there's a bug in the checks that it performs. What happens if you replace the existing Makefile.PL with this:
Cheers,

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
'NAME' => 'XML::LibXSLT',
'VERSION_FROM' => 'LibXSLT.pm', # finds $VERSION
'AUTHOR' => 'Matt Sergeant',
'ABSTRACT' => 'Interface to Gnome libxslt library',
'PREREQ_PM' => { 'XML::LibXML' => "1.58", },
'LIBS' => ['-lxslt -lxml2 -lz -lm'],
'OBJECT' => '$(O_FILES)',
);
Even if you get some warnings when running that Makefile.PL, follow it up by running 'make' and see what happens. If it doesn't work you can always start over again by first running 'make clean'. Cheers,
Rob

As I recall, I had problems installing libxml/libxslt as well. I've had a look through my notes, and while I cannot find specifics related to libxslt, I solved the libxml problem by installing XML::LibXML::Common first, as described here.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe you will also want to insure that the directories containing the libs are in your PATH environment variable.
HTH,
