Bug 134421 – gnome-spell-1.0.7-r1 fails to build due to obscure perl problem

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Paul Winkler 2006-05-26 07:43:48 UTC]

i first got this while running emerge --update --deep --world.
First my emerge --info, then the error, then what I've been able to find out so far....

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

A bit of googling gave me some clues... it looks like I do have the necessary library but there's a perl module path problem:

pw@sweetums ~ $ /usr/bin/perl -e "require XML::Parser"
Can't locate XML/Parser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at -e line 1.

dev-perl/XML-Parser-2.34 (/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux/XML/Parser.pm)


If I re-emerge dev-perl/XML-Parser, that fixes the problem.
I can then emerge gnome-spell successfully.
That was a lucky guess. I want Portage to fix this kind of thing for me :-)
