Description Guido Berhoerster 2002-11-06 11:40:01 UTC 
When Phoenix is built with system perl on 4.7-RELEASE it doesn't
run at all but shows the following error message:
----snip----
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
Line Number 447,Column 34:

<menuitem label="&quitApplicationCmd.label;" id="menu_FileQuitItem"
---------------------------------^
----snap----
When built with the per5.8-port instead it works without any
problems.

Fix: 

As I already mentioned a workaround is to build phoenix with the
perl5.8 port (you also need to make sure that p5-File-Spec isn't
installed and that you did a "use.perl port").
How-To-Repeat: make sure the perl5.8-port is not installed

cd /usr/ports/www/phoenix
make
make install

then try to run phoenix and get the error message

Over to maintainer, let him close it. 

Just as an FYI, this is a (well-)known problem, and a solution is 
being actively sought.

Workaround is all we have right now. A fix might be forthcoming, but no promises.

Re-opening per submitters suggestion so people who have the sense to 
check the PRs will see we know about this.
