Re: [gentoo-user] Cannot emerge libgksu: lacks XML::Parser

Consider libgksu; here's the end of the emerge output, where XML::Parser is required by intltool: checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool It's surely saying that because the ebuild or makefile has a test script to see whether XML::Parser is present working. Just as your `print yes\n` is failing so is the test run by the installation scripts, thus preventing install of libgksu. It sounds like ABCD is on the right track with his suggestion regarding the ithreads USE flag. But in any case you might normally try re-emerging the package and running revdep-rebuild before calling us. If I had this problem then - depending on how quick my machine was, how urgently I needed it fixed, and considering one might wait a few hours for a response here - I might well remerge everything with perl in the package name or category before becoming too flustered about this. You might well find that does the job. Stroller.
