I was trying to resolve problem with libintl.3.dylib according to http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ProblemHotlist Unfortunately, I run into following problem. When depsearch.sh runs into first library which refer to libintl (in my case it is /opt/local/ lib/libgettextlib-0.17.dylib ) it tries to run "port provides /opt/ local/lib/libgettextlib-0.17.dylib" and get stuck. One would think that this kind of behavior indicate some serious problems with my macport install. I really hate the idea of nuking macport install and starting from scratch so any suggestion what I should do to rectify ( or at least further diagnose ) this problem will be highly appreciated.
