=============================================================================

  Fatal error: Your default XML parser (XML::SAX::PurePerl) is broken.

  There are known bugs in the PurePerl parser included with version 0.13
  and 0.14 of XML::SAX.  The XML::Simple tests will fail with this parser.

  One way to avoid the problem is to install XML::SAX::Expat - it will
  install itself as the system default XML parser and then you will be able
  to install XML::Simple successfully.  XML::SAX::Expat is also much faster
  than XML::SAX::PurePerl so you probably want it anyway.

Is there a package for the recommended XML-parser that I'm overlooking?

Same issue here. I found no ebuild providing XML::SAX::Expat.

Same thing here, i emerged expat and still no go.

I think I have the same issue but my log maybe is a bit more useful:

* Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker
Checking installed modules ...
Can't locate object method "new" via package "XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser" at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/XML/SAX/ParserFactory.pm line 43.

!!! ERROR: dev-perl/XML-Simple-2.15 failed.

I get the same error, 2.14 installs fine, but 2.15 gives that error.

Fixed in cvs.

... and emerges without errors on my box.

thanks,
s.

*** Bug 152198 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I had this problem with x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme package.
Then I did a search on XML, LibXML, SAX, and Parser.
And found and rebuild these packages:
 dev-perl/XML-Generator
 dev-perl/XML-LibXML
 dev-perl/XML-Parser
 dev-perl/XML-SAX
 dev-perl/XML-SAX-Writer

Remember: Always share the knowledge!!
