dia fails to configure (and build)

[aconchillo@…]

.... checking for intltool >= 0.21... 0.30 found checking for perl... /opt/local/bin/perl configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool

A strange thing is that I have installed p5-xml-parser by hand, as "port install dia" has not done it. In any case, it does not find it.

I have these packages installed:

p5-xml-parser 2.34_3 (active) perl5.8 5.8.7_0 (active)

coould you provide the output of "port contents p5-xml-parser" ? Thanks.

I have perl 5.8.7 activated.

This is mostlikely due to upgrading perl ...

The workaround is:

port -df uninstall p5-xml-parser port -d clean --all p5-xml-parser port -d install p5-xml-parser

now perl should "know" the xml-parser.

[aconchillo@…]

Yes, that solved the problem.

Thanks.
