How to acquire expat.h for the compilation of git?

Solution
I also faced same problem today. My environment is Scientific Linux (`2.6.32-431.17.1el6.x86_64`).
Though I already have package: expat.x86_64
the following package was also necessary to do "make": expat-devel.x86_64
Therefore, I did
# yum install expat-devel
Though the environment is different, I hope this information will help you.
Problem
I need install `git` (v 2.0) on slackware 14. I experience an error during ``` $ make install prefix=/usr/local ``` run in the source root: ``` LINK git-http-fetch CC http-push.o http-push.c:17:19: fatal error: expat.h: No such file or directory #include <expat.h> ^ compilation terminated. make: *** [http-push.o] Error 1 ``` What is missing for the compilation to proceed?
