The > changes in what routines are in libc cause this problem. The reason you had to rebuild gmake is that it, too, depends on gettext. When the port was first built it linked against libintl.so.4. If you upgraded gettext w/out saving the old libraries (in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg, if I remember right), the gmake broke. There are basically two ways to solve the problem: o As Kris (and others) have said since gettext was first upgraded, you should do this: =20 portupgrade -rf gettext o Keep libintl.so.4 around somewhere, such as portupgrade's compatibility directory. Since libintl.so.4 is not part of the base system, only part of the ports tree, I'm not sure there's any need to warn anyone upgrading from 4.x -> 5.x of anything. There's nothing special about gettext other than the fact that many ports, including GNU make, depend on it. Any other ports which install shared libraries are going to have the same issue, which is why portupgrade saves the old libraries for you to begin with. --Mike --AhhlLboLdkugWU4S Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/Y0CyCczNhKRsh48RArG3AKDMxZ4iZHY2wYytaExGr6JtoSKrNACfQikC yK2diQFcwk3qDtSOhgO1HC4= =TN41 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --AhhlLboLdkugWU4S--
