Any other suggestions?
Oof. Your path has the Fink paths (/sw/bin, /sw/sbin) listed first. Do you have Fink installed, and various software installed with Fink? If so, that may be a recipe as disaster. Possibly some parts of the Fink installation are now being used by MacPorts, which will lead to unpredictability as the MacPorts port authors have not tested with that configuration. Can you remove Fink or do you need it for something? Which port was it that was being built when that message about gettext was shown?
