hi,
I've tried to compile Gimp 2.4 today. During the process I hit a strange
problem, apparently perl cannot find XML::Parser on my system although
it is installed.
configure gives the following error message:
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is
required for intltool
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
but XML::Parser is part of perlxml which I have installed:
$ pacman -Q perlxml
perlxml 2.34-4
$pacman -Ql perlxml
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current/i686-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm
$ perl
use XML::Parser;
Can't locate XML/Parser.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at - line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at - line 1.
then I found with google that I could modify the search path like this:
export PERL5LIB=/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current/i686-linux-thread-multi/XML
$perl -V
..
..
Built under linux

%ENV:
PERL5LIB="/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current/i686-linux-thread-multi/XML"
@INC:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current/i686-linux-thread-multi/XML
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
but it still cannot find the module:
$ perl
use XML::Parser;
Can't locate XML/Parser.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current/i686-linux-thread-multi/XML
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at - line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at - line 1.
so something is still missing.
Is it a problem? I mean I know in this particular case it causes problem
but can it have any other impact?
Cheers
