I'm in the proccess of rebuilding one of my systems and got a failure to compile on gnome-base/libgtop-2.14.6 because it had not installed XML::Parser yet. I had to manually emerge XML-Parser and then restart my previous emerge; which is running fine now. It looks to me like XML-Parser just needs to be included in the dependancies for this ebuild. [ebuild N ] gnome-base/libgtop-2.14.6 USE="X gdbm -debug" 0 kB checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool !!!

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
It needs dev-util/intltool, not XML-Parser itself.
Fixed. Thanks for reporting.
