help2man install fails to find -lintl during staging

[macports-trac@…]

port install help2man is failing to on my MacBook Intel running OS X 10.6.2. Config and build are OK, but I get the following during staging. /opt/local/lib contains libintl.8.0.2.dylib, libintl.a, and libintl.la, and the portfile header line is "# $Id: Portfile 62056 2009-12-28 16:35:00Z nox@… $".

I'm having problems with this port as well. Though the build isn't working for me. I'm getting:

configure: error: perl module Locale::gettext required

I'm having problems with this port as well. Though the build isn't working for me. I'm getting:

configure:
....
checking for library containing bindtextdomain... no
configure: error: bindtextdomain() required

Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
Error: Unable to execute port: upgrade autoconf failed

[motya@…]

Sorry, it was something about universal port... full uninstallation of gettext and help2man solved the problem.

[reid@…]

Perhaps. But, yesterday the universal variant of help2man worked. So, something has happened between then and now.

[reid@…]

I commented out:

configure.args --enable-nls

In Portfile and it worked as it should have.

I would request that this be a variant instead of a default.

[trehune@…]

Works today after port clean help2man and port selfupdate.
