[mythtv] xmltv setup errors

[mythtv-dev@snowman.net]

running RH8.0

I am trying to install xmltv 0.5.2 and I have installed the various needed 
perl modules
but I am getting errors all over the place.

first of all, I can't get XML::Twig to install properly which causes 
errors in the makefile for xmltv.
here are the errors I'm getting

this also spits out to the terminal during the make test
