gimp2 can't find XML::Parser

[kralph@…]

I did an install of gimp2 from a clean, brand new installation of DarwinPorts, and got the following during configure for gimp2:

checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool Error: Target com.apple.configure returned: configure failure: shell command "cd "/opt/local/var/db/ dports/build/ file._opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.opendarwin.org_dpupdate_dports_graphics_gimp2/ work/gimp-2.2.8" && LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include CFLAGS="-faltivec - maltivec" ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-mp --mandir=/opt/local/share/man" returned error 1

And further down: checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool

Warning: the following items did not execute (for gimp2): com.apple.activate com.apple.configure com.apple.build com.apple.destroot com.apple.archive com.apple.install

Is the port file missing the XML::Parser dependency? I'm going to try installing and then retry the gimp2 install and will report back here.

Oops I meant "try installing p5-xml-parser and report back here"...

[kralph@…]

Yep, installed p5-xml-parser and then installing gimp2 worked fine.

Fixed - Thanks

This seems to have regressed: I did port selfupdate and port -a upgrade, and got:

Is it possible that you upgraded perl in the process ?

if so, every perl modules must beinstalled.

no news = good news ?

My first attempt at rebuilding didn't work, but Bug #4323 (which apparently caused my problem) had good instructions. So this was not a problem with gimp2.
