port install zim fails, possibly on a perl error.

[Derek Schutt]

Hi,

I'm trying to install zim, but am running into problems which I detail 
below.   I have just installed mac ports, and have the latest version of 
Xcode.   I am running Snow Leopard, and for what it's worth, I'm new to 
Macs and mac port, coming from the linux world.

Here's what happens when I try to install zim.

$*sudo port install zim*

    --->  Computing dependencies for zim
    --->  Dependencies to be installed: p5-file-basedir
    p5-file-desktopentry p5-file-mimeinfo p5-gtk2 p5-cairo

    p5-module-build p5-extutils-cbuilder p5-extutils-parsexs p5-yaml
    --->  Configuring p5-file-basedir
    Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure:
    shell command failed (see log for details)
    Error: Failed to install p5-file-basedir

    Error: The following dependencies were not installed:
    p5-file-basedir p5-file-desktopentry p5-file-mimeinfo p5-gtk2

    p5-module-build p5-extutils-cbuilder p5-extutils-parsexs p5-yaml
    Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.


running *sudo port clean zim* and *sudo port upgrade outdated* doesn't 
seem to help.   Also, *sudo port upgrade outdated* has this error.

Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell 
command failed (see log for details)
Log for help2man is at: 
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_help2man/main.log
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1


When I look in the log for *sudo port install zim*, I see this:

:info:configure checking for library containing bindtextdomain... -lintl
:info:configure configure: error: perl module Locale::gettext required
:info:configure shell command " cd 
"/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_help2man/work/help2man-1.38.2" 
&& ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-nls " returned error 1

If I run *./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-nls*, I run into this 
problem:

*sudo ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-nls*

I've tried installing a couple of other things with mac ports, and they 
also fail to install.  So I'm guessing I'm missing something 
fundamental, perhaps the gettext perl library?  Can anyone help?
