gettext failing to build tests

[marcus@…]

Trying to install gettext in order to get libintl. Configure goes OK, most of the build succeeds, but then it fails while building gnulib-tests. I'm installing on 10.7 using MacPorts 2.0.1.

Clean and try again.

sudo port clean gettext
sudo port install gettext

If it fails again attach the complete main.log.

[sean-macports@…]

failure log

[sean-macports@…]

I have the exact same failure. I attached my main.log after the sudo port clean gettext ; sudo port install gettext combo. This is on a Mac Pro running 10.7.1, MacPorts 2.0.1, gettext @0.18.1.1. For some reason my laptop succeeds, but my desktop fails. Thanks for any help, I'm kind of stuck.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Sean, in your log I see:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib

Can you find out why the library did not load? Is it a valid Mach-O library? Is it built for the correct architecture? Try using "otool -L" and "lipo -info" on it.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Sean, please see my question in the ticket.

[sean-macports@…]

Hm, thanks for that catch. That file doesn't exist on my system:

whopper:~% ls -l /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib
ls: /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib: No such file or directory

Thinking about it... It seems logical it wouldn't exist since gettext is the *precursor* to libintl, no?

I'm going to poke around more.

I also realized the difference between my two systems. This computer with the failing install was on Leopard, then Snow Leopard, then Lion. The laptop was a *clean* install of Lion. Maybe there is something vestigial on the desktop system.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

libintl is gettext, actually. The full message was:

dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/grep
  Reason: image not found

So you have an existing /opt/local/bin/grep utility, which of course requires gettext. So uninstall the grep port first.

When you migrated from Leopard to Snow Leopard to Lion, did you each time follow the Migration instructions and uninstall and reinstall all ports?

[sean-macports@…]

Thanks for that pointer to the Migration instructions - that solved it. (Although I had to uninstall my existing ports more one by one because somehow it got into an infinite loop of dependencies upon the bulk uninstall that got solved by individual uninstalls, that seems a little odd.)

[marcus@…]

Forcibly removing and rebuilding grep, then gettext did solve it for me - I had a bit of a chicken and egg situation since this breakage had broken gcc and the toolchain (something like libtool was depending on grep).

[macports@…]

I had to clean gettext (sudo port clean gettext), and after that it wanted to build again.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Is everyone on this ticket sure their ports were up to date? Had you run selfupdate lately? I thought I had already fixed this problem in r81158 last month; gettext should not have attempted to use a MacPorts-provided grep even if it existed.

[macports@…]

I also have on old installation. I did a selfupdate, but also did not follow migration instructions at first (did not remove everything first). I do not remember exactly in what order i did everything after that. But since I would have appreciated to find out a bit sooner that a clean would suffice to fix it I decided to added it to this thread :-)

[me@…]

Generally there is a problem when copied older installation.

To install grep u need gettext. ./configure uses grep, that's why, when gettext deleted it cant be recompiled. fix:

sudo port uninstall grep sudo port clean gettext sudo port install gettext

[me@…]

sudo port uninstall grep

sudo port clean gettext

sudo port install gettext

[nonstop.server@…]

Cc Me!

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

Cc Me!

[ja_macports@…]

I had exactly the same problem while rebuilding after migrating to Yosemite.

Fix works!
