I've read it could have something to do with gettext, but I tried to upgrade gettext and I have latest from ports. I'm new user to ports, any suggestions welcome.

Version is 2.6.5, sorry....

Looks like the problem is /usr/bin/gmsgfmt

Try the following and see if that fixes things

sudo port install gettext
sudo port clean gimp2
sudo port install gimp2

If so, there's a missing build dependency in gimp2

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Gettext is definitely in gimp2's dependency chain. I don't have a /usr/bin/gmsgfmt on my system. Where did it come from?

[derek@…]

Gettext 0.17 is already installed.

/usr/bin/gmsgfmt wasn't installed by Ports. Perhaps it was installed by Fink some time ago, but I thought all Fink software got kept in /sw.

Replying to derek@…:

/usr/bin/gmsgfmt wasn't installed by Ports. Perhaps it was installed by Fink some time ago, but I thought all Fink software got kept in /sw.

Ah! It's leftover from experiment with OSX Portage.... will have to look into cleaning that up.

Moved /usr/bin/gmsgfmt and /usr/bin/msgfmt out of the way temporarily, install went fine. Case closed as far as I am concerned. Thanks for your suggestions.
