#23343: trouble installing gettext on Snow leopard -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: CelindaVielh@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: gettext | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by vona@…): I also had this issue. To my knowledge, I have never "upgraded to a new major version of Mac OS X". $ lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib Non-fat file: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib is architecture: cputype 16777223 cpusubtype 3 $ which lipo /usr/bin/lipo $ ls -l /usr/bin/lipo -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 140936 Mar 15 2006 /usr/bin/lipo This is the same old version of lipo that was reported in 24825. Something is going on here, this has happened to several people. It's not strictly just due to system upgrade or "broken os install" as was the resolution in 24825. So if you are looking for a solution, the suggestions here are helpful http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.macports.user/20593 In detail: 1) install pacifist from http://www.charlessoft.com/ 2) insert os x dvd 3) launch pacifist, wait the shareware 15 seconds 4) click "open apple install disks", wait a lot more time 5) get impatient, click "stop" 6) click "open package" 7) navigate to mac os x install dvd 8) not see the System directory 9) go look up again how to see hidden files in the finder 10) hit shift-cmd-period 11) finally open System/Installation/Packages/BSD.pkg 12) search for lipo within the package, find lipo and lipo.1 (the manpage) 13) extract, wait more time 14) replace the bad files: $ sudo cp lipo /usr/bin $ ls -l /usr/bin/lipo -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 138384 Oct 19 20:13 /usr/bin/lipo $ ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/lipo.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 3818 Mar 15 2006 /usr/share/man/man1/lipo.1 $ ls -l lipo.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 4296 Jul 2 2009 lipo.1 $ sudo mv /usr/share/man/man1/lipo.1 /usr/share/man/man1/lipo.1-BAD $ sudo cp lipo.1 /usr/share/man/man1/ 15) observe that my attempt to "port install opencv" is finally getting past building gettext... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/23343#comment:14> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
