 Hmm, looks like our [wiki:howto/Proxy how-to entry on this topic] hasn't
 been written yet. You should set the proxy options in
 /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf. MacPorts clears environment
 variables before running, so anything you set in ~/.profile will have no
 effect, by design.

 Joshua was setting the "port" field in this ticket to the value
 "libiconv". However, it sounds to me like there may be something more
 general amiss in your MacPorts install. Hopefully we'll soon be able to
 identify what.

 > I really don't know why I have (or need) half of the ports that I have
 installed, I think most of them came down as dependencies on the ones I
 actually wanted so I ''guess'' I need them???

 You can try to "sudo port uninstall" ports you don't think you need; if
 you need them, MacPorts will tell you and prevent the uninstall. You can
 also install and use the port-cutleaves port; port-cutleaves is an
 interactive program that helps you identify and uninstall ports that have
 no dependencies. If a port it lists is one you don't directly need, you
 can let it be uninstalled.

 Deactivating coreutils did fix all the other programs so thank-you [[BR]]

 back. I tried to install the '''coreutils''' without the

 That would be the solution...

 So here, it's not the parts of coreutils, but the internationalization
 library libintl (which is part of gettext) which can't find the libiconv
 it wants.

 > Is there some way I can force Macports to install the correct version of
 libiconv.2.dylb ?
 Let's first try to find out whether it's libiconv that's installed
 incorrectly, or everything that's trying to use it. What is the
 architecture of libiconv.dylib and libintl.dylib? To find out:

 {{{
 lipo -info /opt/local/lib/{libiconv,libintl}.dylib
 }}}

 With what variants are the gettext and libiconv ports now installed? To
 find out:

 {{{
 port installed gettext libiconv
 }}}

 What computer is this? What are the values of build_arch and
 universal_archs in /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf? What's in
 /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf?
