I have tryed, but it doesn't works...btw, this is the third installation 
of Gentoo I have done since the beginning of the discuission, so I don't 
think it's a problem of bad download...every time I tryed I got the same 
error emerging the same package...

Ok, I have done. The line checking for XML::PARSER seems to be ok... 
Anyway the "stuff" file is attached to this e-mail...
