This looks like the same problem that was reported for gimp2 in #55405: gpredict (and all ports that use intltool) need to (and do) autoreconfigure to build with the MacPorts fixed version of intltool.m4. But gpredict (and gimp2) contain a bundled not-fixed copy of intltool.m4. I'm not sure why #55405 was fixed in the way in which it was fixed. Surely the correct fix is to fix the bundled intltool.m4, or remove it so that the fixed MacPorts copy gets used.

There is no such problem with predict @2.2.1.
