Why is it trying to access a library from ChatServer? I have tried most things, including updating all the dependencies on the gettext supplied libintl library. I am on MacPorts version 1.320 and have done a recent sync.

I'm guessing here.... do you have a libintl (or did you once) in /usr/local? If so, get rid of it (or move it temporarily out of the way), then try to install GnuCash again.

Unless, of course, /usr/local/libintl.la is a symlink to that location, *and* libtool resolves symlinks before passing it off to the utilities it calls. I checked, and grep reports problems on the symlink, not on the destination file, when called with a symlink that points to nothing.
