help2man configure failure - error: perl module Locale::gettext required

Reported by: tim@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.1

Port: help2man

Description

Using MacPorts with the latest version of xCode installed I tried installing ffmpeg with the following command..

sudo port install ffmpeg

Everything went okay till the end when I got an error message - unfortunately, I did not copy it before exiting the terminal session.

However - I then tried running the "sudo port install ffmpeg" command again, and got the following error message..

I tailed "_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_multimedia_ffmpeg" and got this right after trying the reinstall..

I was asking for help - but none was offered. And this issue is now closed in your opinion?

Thanks for the help. Maybe I asked in the wrong place. At least, if you wouldn't mind, will you direct me to someone, or some place, where I might get advise that will help me resolve this issue?
