Hi, just did a selfupdate/update-all, and found this while building gnome-vfs2-2.4.2-6:

...
appending configuration tag "F77" to libtool
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
### execution of ./configure failed, exit code 1
Failed: compiling gnome-vfs2-2.4.2-6 failed

Anyone else seen this?

On my system, I have the following perls:

/usr/bin/perl
/sw/bin/perl5.6.0

And according to fink, I have XML::Parser installed (bu it's using /usr/bin/perl, which might not pick that up)...

fink apropos XML::Parser
Information about 2598 packages read in 3 seconds.
xml-dom-pm581 1.43-10 Perl ext that adds new style to XML::Parser
xml-node-pm 0.11-1 Perl extension interface to XML::Parser
i xml-parser-pm 2.34-12 Placeholder for versioned XML::Parser packages


Creating a symlink called /sw/bin/perl which points to /sw/bin/perl5.6.0 fixed the problem, causing configure to pick up the version with XML::Parser.

Will this workaround screw up my system? Should I have been creating that symlink all along (I don't use perl too much)? Should this be fixed some other way?

Thanks,

-- Erik
