[gentoo-user] emerge error with glib-perl-1.223. PkgConfig and Depends not installed

[Alan Mackenzie]

Hi, gentoo.

I'm trying "# emerge --update --deep xfce4-meta".

It fails at glib-perl-1.223, since it can't find ExtUtils::Depends and
ExtUtils::PkgConfig.  Here is the relevant section from the build log:

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
MakeMaker FATAL: prerequisites not found.
    ExtUtils::Depends not installed
    ExtUtils::PkgConfig not installed


However, I do have extutils-depends and extutils-pkgconfig installed at
the latest version.

Would somebody help me fix this, please.  I don't have a working X
windows at the moment.  :-(

If you're installing this for the first time then there's no need for the "--update". I don't know that "--deep" is good practice, either. What are you trying to achieve?

To update my first installation of xfce from ~February 2010.  Maybe it
would have been better to omit the "--deep" to begin with.
