You're talking about lire-full-1.1.tar.gz here?

No need to run these.  To install Lire 1.1 (including XML::Parser, if
needed), one needs to run

 cd lire-1.1
 ./configure
 make
 make install

, as is documented in Lire's INSTALL file.

[As a side note: why are you trying to run lr_check_service?  What are
you intending to use Lire for?]

Check wether XML::Parser is actually installed on your system.  If
you've ran Lire's ./configure without any arguments, it should reside
somewhere in /usr/local/share/perl or /usr/local/lib/perl/ .

I don't know much about slackware, actually...
