When trying to emerge gnome-panel-2.4.2 on my laptop, I get this: checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool !!! ERROR: gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.4.2 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 365, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed It works fine on my main computer, as XML-Parser is installed, and adding XML-Parser as a dependency to gnome-panel on my laptop solved the issue.
thanks. fixed in cvs.
