Please remember to cc the maintainer. As per the ticket guidelines, the High priority is reserved for the use of MacPorts team members.

Hm, gettext always builds fine for me. Now, I see you're building universal, and parallel, which should both be fine too, except that when you build parallel it means the real error may be way back in the log, and MacPorts only shows us the last couple dozen lines unless we tell it we want more. So clean gettext and try again with the debug switch and turning off parallel building, so we can see what's really going on:

sudo port clean gettext
sudo port -d install gettext +universal build.jobs=1 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/gettext.txt
bzip2 ~/Desktop/gettext.txt

Then attach gettext.txt.bz2 from your desktop to this ticket and I'll have a look at it.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Once you attach the file, add a comment saying you did so, so I'll know to come back and check.

[martijn@…]

File attached as requested. Thanks for looking into it.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Well there's nothing in there. It says gettext is already installed.

[martijn@…]

Ok. I'll try it once more with the debug switch on. Thanks!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Is there still anything we need to do here? Your original report was that gettext wouldn't build, but the debug log you attached showed gettext properly installed. In the absence of further information, I will close this ticket as invalid.
