>Description:

I built the ORBit port on FreeBSD-4.2. It failed on me with a message
about not beeing able to find libgettext.

It took me some time to find out why.

I had an /usr/X11R6/bin/xgettext installed
(additionally to the /usr/local/bin/xgettext from the gettext port)
As I had /usr/X11R6/bin in the path before /usr/local/bin, the configure
script picked the wrong version, and failed.
The wrong version was installed by the xview-3.2.1 - port.
(it then continues to output a config.log file which has nothing to do
with the failure which is misleading at best)

Here is the error:

[running configure in work/ORBit-0.5.4/popt/]
checking for GNU xgettext... configure: error:
*** GNU gettext is required. The latest version
*** is always available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/.
configure: error: ./configure failed for popt
===>  Script "configure" failed: here are the contents of "config.log"
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
[outputting the config.log from work/ORBit-0.5.4/config.log]

>How-To-Repeat:

install xview port
PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:${PATH}
build ORBit port

>Fix:

either change xview to not install xgettext, or specify the path in ORBit
exactly
