I cannot imagine that gettext hasn't been updated on my system in over 2 years, but I seem to be having an issue that appears to be related to this based on the errors.

Shared object "libintl.so.8" not found, required by "bash"

For example.

I have logged into the console directly as the root user and tried to build gettext via portmaster of via make clean && make install but I get errors about missing files.

pkg-static: Unable to access file /usr/ports/devel/gettext-runtime/work/stage/usr/local/include/autosprintf.h: No such file or directory


I've tried to build gettext-runtime first, but to no avail.
