intltool: configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required

[pjue2009@…]

intltool fails to configure properly even though p5-xml-parser is installed.

When I run "perl5.12 -e "require XML::Parser", I get:

Can't load '/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/darwin-multi-2level/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.bundle' for module XML::Parser::Expat: dlopen(/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/darwin-multi-2level/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.bundle, 1): no suitable image found.  Did find:

I have tried reinstalling expat, but keep getting the same message above. My config file is set to i386 x86_64 for universal build architecture, which I changed after realizing it was set to i386 ppc. I am running OSX 10.5.8, 64-bit Intel, Xcode 3.1.2.

Correction: universal *binary architecture

"i386 ppc" is the usual value of universal_archs on Leopard. You can change it to "i386 x86_64" if you want but note that this is not well-tested on Leopard so you might run into problems most of us have not seen before. After you changed universal_archs to "i386 x86_64" did you uninstall and reinstall all ports that you had already installed with the universal variant? If not, do so now, then clean intltool, then try again.

I was in the process of doing so. Currently, my port tree is all "i386 x86_64" or "noarch". Is that what it should be? I seemed to have problems with i386 ppc I think because I have an Intel.

I believe I have discovered the source of the problem. Macports is looking for "XML::Parser" while the gzip file is named "XMLParser". Is there a way to tell Macports to look for "" instead of "::"?

Is this still a problem with current versions? If so, please provide the output of:

port -v installed perl5.12 p5.12-xml-parser
lipo -info /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.4/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.bundle

as well as the main.log and config.log for intltool.

It seems to install correctly now. Thanks!
