Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

When trying to install it gives me the following: ==========

In my case XML/Parser.pm is located here:

/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/darwin-multi-2level/XML/Parser.pm

This path is not in perls @INC:

$ /usr/bin/env perl -e "require XML::Parser"
Can't locate XML/Parser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: 
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3/darwin-thread-multi-2level
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/darwin-thread-multi-2level
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.12.3/darwin-thread-multi-2level
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.12.3
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
  /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
  .) at -e line 1.

perl5.12 is installed with threads:

$ port installed perl5*
The following ports are currently installed:
  perl5 @5.12.3_1+perl5_12 (active)
  perl5.12 @5.12.3_1+threads
  perl5.12 @5.12.3_2+threads (active)

Should perl5.12 be adding this path to @INC?

vendor_perl/5.12.3/darwin-multi-2level

Should p5.12-xml-parser install to this path?

vendor_perl/5.12.3/darwin-thread-multi-2level

comment:4 Changed 13 years ago by pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)

Adding PERL5LIB with path to XML::Parser allows libgsf configure to complete.

configure.env-append    "PERL5LIB=${prefix}/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/darwin-multi-2level"

This does not feel like the correct way to fix this.
I have other port installed p5.12-* perl modules in vendor_perl/5.12.3/darwin-multi-2level.

fresh install on 10.6, libgsf was pulled it as a dependency of, same problem, and configure.env-append fixes it.

comment:6 Changed 13 years ago by markus.doits@…

should be ... dependency of gimp ...

comment:8 Changed 13 years ago by d-lamb (Derek Lamb)

I received a similar error to the OP. But I am also using macports perl 5.14 as my active version, with 5.12.3 installed alongside but inactive. For me the correct path to p5-xml-parser was in the @INC of perl5.12, but not of perl5.14. I manually added

INTLTOOL_PERL=/opt/local/bin/perl5.12

to the ./configure call of libgsf and then libgsf configured and built apparently correctly. Before making that change I had

checking for gmsgfmt... /opt/local/bin/msgfmt
checking for perl... /opt/local/bin/perl
checking for perl >= 5.8.1... 5.14.1
checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool

and after making the change I had

checking for gmsgfmt... /opt/local/bin/msgfmt
checking for perl... /opt/local/bin/perl5.12
checking for perl >= 5.8.1... 5.12.3
checking for XML::Parser... ok

and libgsf configured and built just fine. (note I didn't change the portfile, I just called ./configure manually)

Replying to derek@…:

Anyway, this isn't unique to libgsf, doing a ticket query on XML::Parser returns basically the same thing in many gimp dependencies. See e.g., Ticket #30124.

Keywords: haspatch added

The shared and threads variants for perl really need to go away (probably by becoming the default). Problems like this are inevitable with the way things currently work.

The attached patch should at least take care of the issue mentioned in comment:8. It's really inconvenient to have to do this to every port that uses IT_PROG_INTLTOOL though. It would be much better for intltool to provide a way to directly query which perl it's configured to use.
