gettext hangs during upgrade

[saschaschnepp@…]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade gettext on a 10.7.5 Lion with Macports 2.2.0. I read the tickets #34221 and #36740 but I think this is a different problem.

The upgrade got stuck during the configure stage and using -v -d I can see that the last item is the check for ranlib. This is the output of configure, please tell me if anyone requires more information.

I would greatly appreciate help.
