Shared object "libintl.so.5" not found error when installinglogrotate port - how to solve this?

[Olaf Greve]

Hi all,

I have run into a weird issue, which for some reason doesn't want to get 
resolved.

I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1 Release i386, and my ports tree is recent (via 
  /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile).

However, when trying to install the logrotate port (i.e. version 
logrotate-3.7_3 - located in /usr/ports/sysutils/logrotate/), I keep 
getting the following error:

**********************************************************************
millennics# make install
===>  Building for logrotate-3.7_3
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.5" not found
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/logrotate.
**********************************************************************

Now, I tried perform a 'make clean' and a 'make depend' as well, but all 
to no avail.

Searching on the Internet suggests that this is due to 'gettext'. So, I 
tried reinstalling that as well, but still, no luck.

The installed gettext packages are:
**********************************************************************
millennics# pkg_info | grep gette
gettext-0.14.1      GNU gettext package
p5-gettext-1.03     Message handling functions
**********************************************************************

I guess this is basically o.k., right?!?

Soooooo, the question then winds down to how to resolve this. Can anyone 
tell me how I can fix this problem?

Cheers!
Olafo

PS: down below I've copied the last part of the 'make reinstall' output 
of gettext, as well as the output of the subsequent 'make install' 
output of logrotate...
