Bug 113243 – dev-perl/XML-Parser-2.34 fails to build

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Samuel Penn 2005-11-22 04:39:55 UTC]

XML-Parser-2.34 is a dependency of mozilla-bin, but it fails to build with the
following error:
Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm

I'm assuming it requires dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker, however this package also
fails to build (see #113242). I am running Gentoo/x86 (in VMWare).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge XML-Parser

Actual Results:  
>>> Unpacking XML-Parser-2.34.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/XML-Parser-2.34/work
>>> Source unpacked.

Currently have Perl 5.8.6-r5 installed.

Just in case you read this one first :)

You have a bad perl install, start back with perl itself. Something is wrong
there if it can't find EU::MM - its a core perl module after all. Did you
install this with the minimal use flag maybe?
