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

running xslt-config... failed
using fallback values for LIBS and INC
options:
  LIBS='-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lxslt -lxml2 -lz -lm'
  INC='-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include'
If this is wrong, Re-run as:
  $ /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/path/to/lib' INC='-I/path/to/include'

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
    using fallback values for LIBS and INC
    options:
      LIBS='-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lxslt -lxml2 -lz -lm'
      INC='-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include'
    If this is wrong, Re-run as:
      $ /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/path/to/lib' INC='-I/path/to/include'

    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.

Install the packages libxml2-devel and libxslt-devel from YaST.

[In response to the now-merged question "I can't find exslt":]

Are you looking for a more detailed answer than www.exslt.org?

You are missing the libxslt library, which should be available using your OS's standard package distribution system (e.g. it's available on macports for Darwin, but you can also download it from source here.

This is the key part of the output that indicates this:

looking for -lxslt... no
libxslt not found

EDIT: since you seem to be using OpenSUSE, you can download the library directly from here: http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/opensuse/libxslt.html.
