at the point where msgmerge fails, has libs/ardour/po/el_GR.po been successfully copied to libs/ardour/el_GR.po?
Yes it has. Running msgmerge manually produces the same output: {{{ $ msgmerge --update libs/ardour/el_GR.po libs/ardour/libardour2.pot ............................................................................................................................... done. msgmerge: `libs/ardour/el_GR.po': No such file or directory }}} I found this other report of the same problem for ardour in 2007, with the suggestion to turn off NLS as a workaround: http://ardour.org/node/1358 Not related to ardour, I found an explanation of the problem here: http://subcommanderblog.wordpress.com/2009/05/16/msgmerge-on-macosx-and- no-such-file-or-directory/ It seems to be a bug in the way msgmerge makes backup files on Leopard, and the suggested workaround is to turn off backup files (we don't need them). I will report this bug to the developers of gettext. I have committed a fix to the ardour2 port in r54481. The developers of ardour might want to rethink whether it is appropriate to run msgmerge on the user's system. Such tasks should be done by the developers of ardour at packaging time instead. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19886#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
