Description David Gethings 2004-07-29 07:57:55 UTC

checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool

!!! ERROR: media-gfx/gimp-freetype-0.5 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 362, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

It appears that the gimp-freefont ebuild is missing a dependancy

There was already an intltool dependency in gimp-freetype's ebuild, which implies the XML::Parser dependency. I added the version requirement, just to be on the safe side, but this seems to be a problem on your system caused by some Perl weirdness.

Search for more bugs related to XML::Parser (e.g. #59055) and you'll find more information on this.
