What does the above mean?
Not sure how you got this far but it does happen. My course would be to update my ports (port sync/port selfupdate). Some questions. Does your path have the /opt hierarchy in it? % echo $PATH /opt/local/libexec:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/ bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin What ports do you have installed? % port installed The following ports are currently installed: Xft2 @2.1.7_0 (active) aalib @1.4rc5_2 (active) aspell @0.60.5_0 (active) at-spi @1.18.1_0 (active) atk @1.18.0_0 (active) audiofile @0.2.6_0 (active) autoconf @2.61_0 (active) automake @1.10_0 (active) avahi @0.6.16_1 (active) bison @2.3_0 (active) bug-buddy @2.18.0_0 (active) bzip2 @1.0.4_1 (active) [....] Do you have gettext in there? Either, it might be worth installing it with -f (port -f install gettext). It should go quickly, since it has all of two dependencies, I think. If that works, try your other command again and let us know how you get on. -- Paul Beard words: http://paulbeard.org/wordpress pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pdb206/ Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem?
