List of common errors for the module icon-naming-utils.

Error - XML::Simple perl module is required

Stage: configure

checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for XML::Simple... configure: error: XML::Simple perl module is required for icon-naming-utils

Explanation:

• XML::Simple perl module is needed.

Solution:

• Install XML::Simple perl module and its dependencies, libxml-simple-perl in Debian.

Solution2:

In case you do not have root access on the machine you are jhbuilding on, the solution is different:

• Run the following:

• mkdir -p /tmp/perlextra/XML
  cd /tmp/perlextra/XML
  wget http://search.cpan.org/src/GRANTM/XML-Simple-2.12/lib/XML/Simple.pm

• Then edit your .jhbuildrc and add the line:

• addpath('PERL5LIB', '/tmp/perlextra')

I sure hope someone know the correct way to handle this problem.
