You are experiencing the issue everyone is experiencing after upgrading from gettext 0.14.x to 0.15. You must now rebuild all ports that built against gettext 0.14.x. This is likely to be quite a few ports.

See this recent message:

Will

sudo port -fR upgrade gettext

work? I ask because I'd like to put the easiest way to fix this problem in a FAQ.

I don't know! But that sounds like a good thing for someone who has not already fixed the problem to try out.

I tried this and it failed for me. It hung while configuring libiconv: % sudo port -fR upgrade gettext ---> Unable to uninstall libiconv 1.11_0+darwin_8, the following ports depend on it: ---> apr-util ---> gettext ---> ruby ---> apr-util ---> gettext ---> gawk ---> gettext ---> ruby Warning: Uninstall forced.

Figuring maybe my ports were out of date (updated maybe 1-2 weeks ago), I then tried running % sudo port sync which stalls after syncing the ports. I saw downloading network activity, which then stopped, but the port command never terminated after many minutes following the download activity. But perhaps this is a separate, unrelated problem... Getting back to the gettext issue, I discovered the instructions here pertaining to it: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/wiki/ProblemHotlist The shell script provided there only reported gettext. I tried uninstalling and cleaning libiconv (which I know what a dependency), then re-install, but it seemed to be stuck on ./ configure as before (same kernal_tas and msgfmt processes coming up to the top). I then uninstalled and force re-installed gettext, removing the two older 0.14 versions I had with the '-duf' options as suggested. This lead to lots of things being cleaned out. Then I attempted re- installing gettext and my previously hosed libiconv configuration then proceeded as normal: % sudo port install -f gettext ---> Configuring libiconv ---> Building libiconv with target all ---> Staging libiconv into destroot ---> Packaging tgz archive for libiconv 1.11_0+darwin_8 ---> Installing libiconv 1.11_0+darwin_8 ---> Activating libiconv 1.11_0+darwin_8 ---> Cleaning libiconv ---> Fetching gettext ---> Verifying checksum(s) for gettext ---> Extracting gettext ---> Applying patches to gettext ---> Configuring gettext ---> Building gettext with target all ---> Staging gettext into destroot ---> Packaging tgz archive for gettext 0.15_0 ---> Installing gettext 0.15_0 ---> Activating gettext 0.15_0 ---> Cleaning gettext Joy. But now for the acid test: activating mod_perl2. Unfortunately, the same error occurs. ---> Activating mod_perl2 2.0.2_0 Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/ lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-2level/perllocal.pod already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port mod_perl2. Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. Doh! Perhaps this mod_perl2 problem is not gettext related? Advice welcome. Steve PS. Regarding that trouble with 'port sync', it still hangs, so this is apparently a separate problem. I'll post some info about that to the list separately.
