Is the gettext port installed? It should be, because it's a dependency of p5.22-locale-gettext. Is the library ok? What do you get when you run:

port -v installed gettext
lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libintl.dylib
otool -L /opt/local/lib/libintl.dylib

Immanuel:~ danghica$ port -v installed gettext
The following ports are currently installed:
  gettext @0.19.7_0 (active) platform='darwin 15' archs='i386'
Immanuel:~ danghica$ lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libintl.dylib
Non-fat file: /opt/local/lib/libintl.dylib is architecture: i386
Immanuel:~ danghica$ otool -L /opt/local/lib/libintl.dylib

Why is gettext installed for i386, and why are you trying to install p5.22-locale-gettext for i386? x86_64 is the normal arch on El Capitan. What is the value of build_arch and universal_archs in macports.conf?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The conftest routine in the Makefile.PL does not use any arch flags when checking if it can link with gettext.

In 15202867f0795c2e5b45dfcadd7cac25f14190c1/macports-ports (master):

p5-locale-gettext: Fix build for nondefault archs

Use CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS while configuring. This also makes it
unnecessary for us to prevent the use of compilers that don't have
support for CPATH and LIBRARY_PATH.

Closes: #50462

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Hmm, I see I fixed this previously but the fix was removed in r141917.
