gettext-0.17 build terminates with error message

[tolmein@…]

Hi there,

when I try to build gettext (which I tried several times) I always get the following error message:

athena Tue Feb 24 18:54:46 /Users/athena $ sudo port install gettext

Thanks in advance for your help.

What version of Mac OS X, Xcode and MacPorts do you have, and on what kind of Mac?

Do you have anything installed in /usr/local? Sometimes this conflicts with MacPorts ports.

Can you send me the debug output? run "sudo port clean gettext" and then "sudo port -d install gettext 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/gettext.txt" and then attach gettext.txt from your desktop to this ticket.

Hello Ryan,

sorry for replying only now.

In the meantime, after some more trials to install gettext I somehow - miraculously - succeeded, so everything seems fine now.

Nonetheless, thanks a lot for trying to help me.

Ok, I'm glad you got it to work.
