Hi,

Daniel Macks offered the following solution to the xml parser error that I am seeing a while ago:

> You have a fink package installed that is hiding your system"s perl
> interpretter from intltool. From a terminal, "dpkg -S /sw/bin/ perl",
 > and then "fink remove" the package it lists (or remove it via Fink

The problems was encountered by someone on 10.3.9. I am on 10.4.1, and the above remedy does not work because dpkg finds no perl packages in /sw/bin. Any other ideas? This error is plaguing all installations right now. A typical transcript is:

F77=no ./configure --prefix=/sw --libexecdir=/sw/lib/libgnome2 -- disable-dependency-tracking
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /sw/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for intltool >= 0.21... 0.33 found
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
### execution of F77=no failed, exit code 1
Removing build lock...
dpkg -r fink-buildlock-libgnome2-2.10.0-2
(Reading database ... 72196 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing fink-buildlock-libgnome2-2.10.0-2 ...
Failed: phase compiling: libgnome2-2.10.0-2 failed

Thank you very much.
