Notice that curl restarted at byte 321. That most likely means that  
there was an http error on a previous download attempt, and curl  
happily appended the real download to that error output. Naturally,  
the hash won't match.

Delete /Users/paul/gtk/source/pkgs/XML-Parser-2.34.tar.gz and try again.

I think it's better to ask Gtk-OSX support questions in gtk-osx-users lists sourceforge net 
 instead of here. The Gtk core devs are probably annoyed enough with  
us whining about them not being serious about OSX support without  
cluttering up their list.
