I don't understand this, msgfmt is installed by the gettext port which is installed by gtk2.
Please check if gettext is active (port installed gettext) and if msgfmt is available (which msgfmt).

Thanks,

Simon

I'm betting on a PATH problem, but here goes:

sudo port installed gettext The following ports are currently installed:

gettext @0.17_3 (active)

which msgfmt /opt/local/bin/msgfmt

Darmis Hoskins ​reported this on macports-users too.

A couple of questions:

• does it succeed if you clean then try again (sudo port clean --work pidgin && sudo port install pidgin)?
• what version of Xcode is installed?

[darmish@…]

Replying to blb@…:

A couple of questions:

• does it succeed if you clean then try again (sudo port clean --work pidgin && sudo port install pidgin)?
• what version of Xcode is installed?

Yes it did install after running (sudo port clean --work pidgin && sudo port install pidgin), but now when I try to run it I get....

(pidgin:74350): Gdk-CRITICAL : gdk_display_get_name: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed Pidgin 2.5.2

(pidgin:74350): WARNING : cannot open display: unset

[simon@…]

As the compile bug was fixed, I'm closing this as duplicate of #16995, please see there for more information.

Thanks,

Simon
