To use you just need libintl2, but to compile at least gettext. I'm not sure about gettext-devel since most source packages ship with the "compiled" translations (the .mo or .gmo files), but you need it for CVS. I suppose you may also need the libiconv packages. There are checks for it in the configure script. Better wait Charles or someone answer.

All those already are, but again, I don't know if it's mandatory to use 1.5.x for new ports. > >BTW, I don't know if the following is a Windows limitation, but > >I couldn't get anything downloaded with LFTP to store the time > >from the server.

Maybe the author could take a look, after all it also happens on Linux writing to a FAT32 partition, what I do a lot. I don't know how ncftp, wget, and others behave. I'll test once I boot on Windows if nobody does. Midnight Commander preserver them.
