How do I install libXSLT for Perl's XML::LibXSLT?

When I run a Perl script I get

    Can't locate XML/LibXSLT.pm in @INC

So I try doing this in cpan:


cpan> install XML::LibXSLT

If this is wrong, Re-run as:

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.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
  /usr/bin/make  -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

So... no luck. I tried writing cpan> install XML::XSLT which installed but my script still doesn't work. What can I do now?

I also tried using YaST to install the packages. It was a success, then I tried the above and still no luck.

-extra-

I also tried building the bindings. From http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/XML-LibXSLT I untar and wrote

    # perl Makefile.PL
    running xslt-config... failed
