I first noticed the problem after installing the meta-port for gnome 1.0.0. I tried to run panel, and it died with the error message: dougb@scalar[/home/dougb]% panel /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.1" not found I didn't know where libintl came from, but I figured that one of the gnome ports was misbehaving. After running a find and finding the files I was after, I realized that libintl is part of gettext. I thought that the gnome port had simply forgotten to have a dependency on gettext, so I went and went to /usr/ports/devel/gettext and tried to do a make install. An error message told me that gettext was already installed. I had looked at /usr/local/lib and saw that there was a libintl.a there already, but then I realized that gettext had been installed as a dependency when I first installed some packages on my clean system. I went into the work directory and noticed there was an libintl.so in there, so I set FORCE_PKG_REGISTER and did a make install again, which fixed the problem. After everything was working fine, I went and downloaded the gettext packages for both 3.1-STABLE and 3.1-RELEASE and checked to see if they included libintl.so. They did not. I can't figure out if the gnome port is broken or if the gettext package is broken, so hopefully someone with more experience than I can step in and fix things up. Thanks, Doug >How-To-Repeat: pkg_add the gettext-0.10.35.tgz package from 3.1-RELEASE. Compile the gnome meta-port or some other port that requires gettext to be a shared library. Error message should be something like: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.1" not found >Fix: Either make the gettext port include libintl.so, or make the gnome meta-port not want libintl.so. I'm sorry, but I don't know which one to do, otherwise I'd include a patch. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
