I am attaching the full main.log (gettext) as well the the output of % sudo port -v -d install gettext

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your log says:

:info:build /macports/bin/ranlib: line 390: ./gsed: No such file or directory

Sounds like your ranlib needs gsed, and gsed wasn't there. This is not a gettext problem; you'd encounter this problem with any port you try to build that uses ranlib. You could work around this by installing the gsed port.

However, normally, ranlib is part of cctools, and is just a symlink to libtool, which is also part of cctools, and libtool is supposed to be a compiled executable, not a script with line numbers as your error message seems to indicate. Could you show the output of:

ls -l /macports/bin/ranlib
port provides /macports/bin/ranlib

Could you also attach /macports/bin/ranlib (or, if it's a symlink, what it's pointing to) for us to examine?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to ryandesign@…:

You could work around this by installing the gsed port.

Actually, that's not going to work yet, since gsed requires gettext. You could deactivate cctools for the duration of your gettext build:

sudo port clean gettext gsed
sudo port -f deactivate cctools
sudo port install gsed
sudo port activate cctools

% ls -l /macports/bin/ranlib

% port provides /macports/bin/ranlib
/macports/bin/ranlib is provided by: cctools

/macports/bin/ranlib is a symlink to /macports/bin/libtool

*Attaching* libtool file which appears to be a script in my case, to the list of attachments

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

That's not cctools' libtool; that's GNU libtool, a totally different software.

Please rebuild cctools to put back cctools' libtool; all should be well after that.

sudo port -n upgrade --force cctools

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, you'll have to remove the bad libtool first, e.g. by first uninstalling cctools.

sudo port -f uninstall cctools
sudo port clean cctools
sudo port install cctools

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

And don't install things to /macports which will clobber files managed by base.

[creativecommon@…]

Sorry for the late response. I have resolved the problem by following the steps you guys provided earlier.

sudo port clean gettext gsed
sudo port -f deactivate cctools
sudo port uninstall gsed
sudo port install gsed
sudo port activate cctools

Followed by

sudo port -n upgrade --force cctools

Thanks a lot ryandesign and jeremyhu. I really appreciate it.
