gettext: build fails because grep is installed which needs gettext

[gkshenaut]

OS/X 10.8.1
After a selfupdate/upgrade-outdated, everything stops at gettext. Here are the messages (I'm attaching the log):

% sudo port install gettext

The lines in the log that say "Skipping completed" show us that this was not a clean attempt, so please "sudo port clean gettext" and try again.

gettext install after clean

OK. Here is the output:

$ sudo port clean gettext

Remember to use WikiFormatting when writing in Trac.

Ok, the relevant part of the log seems to be:

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

This is telling us that you have grep installed, and it needs gettext, but gettext's internationalization library (libintl) is either missing or broken. The simplest solution is to deactivate (or uninstall) grep, then clean and try the gettext install again. You can re-activate (or re-install) grep later if desired.

sudo port clean gettext
sudo port -f deactivate grep
sudo port install gettext
sudo port activate grep

I uninstalled grep and the upgrade-outdated process (including gettext) appears to be running smoothly now. Thank you very much.
