p5-locale-gettext: gettext function not found (was: Re: Gettext error prevents update)

[notbot]

Thank you.

I was able to fix this problem by uninstalling all ports and re-installing. Drastic, but it worked :-)

Osx 10.6.3
Xcode ; 3.2.2

I do have fink installed and so yes there are libs at /sw and others at /usr

However, the problem occurred after doing a port update with Port Authority.

Sorry, I feel I'm not being much help.

I am finding problems with each of the ports that I need : ffmpeg, inventor, etc....  but I'll post these separately once I've checked them out :-)

Again many thanks

> notbot, can you provide more info? What version of Xcode do you have? Do you have anything installed in /usr/local or /sw? Is your gettext port installed universal, and if so for what architectures? Anything else you can think of that might make your system different from others?
