How can I install XML::LibXML on Ubuntu

Question

Here is the stdout for install: ``` $sudo cpanm XML::LibXML --> Working on XML::LibXML Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SH/SHLOMIF/XML-LibXML-2.0014.tar.gz ...

Accepted Answer

I think the relevant line is:

```
Checking for ability to link against libxml2...libxml2, zlib, and/or the Math library (-lm) have not been found.
```

So, you've covered off libxml. Have you installed the appropriate zlib package? Try:

```
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
```

Then try installing XML::LibXML again.
