While running, I changed my shell to "tsch" and then updated the port. This
is rather strange. I all ready had the "libintl.so.9" file, so why would I
need to copy it. Strangely enough though, the file is linked to
"libintl.so.8" in the directory.

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    12B 2014-12-01 06:41:08 EST libintl.so.9@ -> libintl.so.8

This is the entire listing for that library:

-rw-r--r--    1 root      wheel      102K 2014-12-01 06:41:07 EST libintl.a
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root      wheel       16B 2014-12-01 06:41:07 EST libintl.so@ -> libintl.so.8.1.2
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root      wheel       16B 2014-12-01 06:41:07 EST libintl.so.8@ -> libintl.so.8.1.2
-rw-r--r--    1 root      wheel       54K 2014-12-01 06:41:07 EST libintl.so.8.1.2
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root      wheel       12B 2014-12-01 06:41:08 EST libintl.so.9@ -> libintl.so.8

I rebuilt bash, and I am now getting this output:

ldd /usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/bash:
        libncurses.so.8 => /lib/libncurses.so.8 (0x8008ef000)
        libintl.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 (0x800b3c000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800d47000)

I am also unable to find out what port installed the "libintl.so.9" library
to start with.
