[BioC] installing XML in linux

[Mahbub Latif]

Hi,

I was trying to install XML package in a linux
(dabian) machine and got the following error message.
I am not sure whether there is any error in my linux
installion. I appreciate suggestions to install XML
properly in this machine. 

Thanks in advance.

Mahbub.
