gettext: configure hangs

[pstanna@…]

I am trying to install various different packages but they all fail since it needs "gettext" and I cant seem to install it. I tried installing it standalone and it still fails.

I wiped ports, and xcode and reinstalled fresh copies. I am running Mountain Lion and Xcode Version 4.5.1 (4G1004), ports is at 2.1.2

My installed ports:

The following ports are currently installed:
  expat @2.1.0_0 (active)
  gperf @3.0.4_2 (active)
  libiconv @1.14_0 (active)
  ncurses @5.9_1 (active)

output for installing gettext (ive waited hours for this to complete)

 sudo port -v -d install gettext

(log removed by admin; see attachment)

Remember to use WikiFormatting.

Your log ends with:

checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... (cached) /usr/bin/grep
checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E

From my system, the next lines should be:

checking for Java virtual machine... java
checking for Java compiler... javac -source 1.3

So this sounds like a duplicate of #34221, except that you show you're running MacPorts with sudo, which is how we want you to run it; in #34221 people were running MacPorts with su which we believe lead to the problem.

When this is happening, can you check in Activity Monitor whether there is a sw_vers process running? Also can you attach the config.log file, which should be somewhere inside the directory identified by the command port work gettext? Thanks.

I re-ran the command to get the requested information. But this time i didnt run it as root. I stayed and my user environment and ran "sudo port -v -d install gettext"

previously i had changed my shell to root and tried both "port -v -d install gettext" and "sudo port -v -d install gettext"

I dont understand why it didnt install as root. But i have gettext installed now. So we can close this ticket. Ill proceed to install the other packages.

Thanks, Pathik
