I have seen this error on cpantesters site, but have no idea yet why
does it happens. Which version of expat library do you have?

/usr/lib/libexpat.so.9.0
/usr/lib/libexpat.a
/usr/lib/libexpat_p.a
/usr/lib/libexpat_pic.a
/usr/include/expat.h
/usr/include/expat_external.h

That is about the most useful information I can find to give you. What so.9.0
means is anyones guess. libexpat does not appear to be provided by an external
port anywhere so I guess its part of the 4.7 base system.

I am seeing this same 'make test' error trying to build XML::Parser on a
Redhat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.5 system on x86_64.  I am using the
Redhat-supplied Expat libraries.  The RPM packages are expat and
expat-devel:

# rpm -qi expat-devel

Just ran into this identical (?) bug on CentOS 5.5, with a custom Perl
5.12.3 build.

Build output is at https://gist.github.com/0e3c3b8710a6beb7b42f

System details available upon request.  :-)

Ditto. Same problem, this time on perl 5.10.1 on CentOS

$ rpm -qi expat-devel

Summary     : Libraries and include files to develop XML applications with expat.
Description :
The expat-devel package contains the libraries, include files and documentation
to develop XML applications with expat.

Looking at bug #54747 it seems this isn't an issue with XML::Parser itself, but rather a bug in 
the underlying expat library.
