Just to be sure: Do you have the file /sw/lib/libintl.la or not? If no, is there a libintl.la somewhere in /usr/local/lib?


ian% ls /sw/lib/libintl.la /sw/lib/libintl.la

*) /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc `if test -n ''; then /sw/src/root-libiconv-1.9.1-11/sw/bin; fi` iconv.o ../srclib/libicrt.a ../lib/libiconv.la -L/sw/lib -lintl -liconv -R/sw/lib -o iconv;; \
esac

Here is another observation: In the corresponding line, I don't get the part
-L/sw/lib -lintl -liconv -R/sw/lib
at all. Also in the preceding line, I don't get the
-L/sw/lib -lintl -liconv
part. I don't think that configure puts these things there when it didn't find some /sw/lib/libintl stuff.



libtool: link: cannot find the library `/sw/lib/libiconv.la'

The only way I can think of that this `/sw/lib/libiconv.la' appears on the link line is inside the libintl.la.


You should also look what it says about libintl in the configure phase. While gettext-dev is removed, I see the lines

checking how to link with libiconv... -liconv
checking for GNU gettext in libintl... no

checking for GNU gettext in libc... no checking for iconv... (cached) yes checking how to link with libiconv... -liconv checking for GNU gettext in libintl... yes checking whether to use NLS... yes checking where the gettext function comes from... external libintl checking how to link with libintl... -L/sw/lib -lintl -liconv

I really am unfamiliar with all this stuff (the libs, the package managers, configure/make, etc), so I apologize if I seem a bit slow to understand what is going on.

so, gettext-dev is installed, but not properly?

appreci�
-ian
