When trying to emerge gnome-vfs-2.18.1, I get the following error: checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate checking for intltool >= 0.35.0... 0.35.5 found checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool !!!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. !!! A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.18.1/temp/build.log'. So, presumably, I should have some sort of package to provide the XML::Parser perl module, but it's apparently not being pulled in as a dependency. What gives?

Actually, I ran revdep-rebuild and came up with some weirdness involving the XML-Parser package...I'll reopen if that doesn't fix things.
Dupe.
