So, why does it still want the earlier version?
This is a FAQ. When you installed gmake(1) it was linked against the
version of libintl.so you had available at the time, which was
libintl.so.4.
Then later on, you updated the devel/gettext port, which replaced
libintl.so.4 with libintl.so.5 -- unless you've saved a copy of
libintl.so.4 somewhere[1] all of the ports you have installed which
link against libintl.so.4 will now fail to run correctly.
Unfortunately, loads of things depend on devel/gettext, and the ABI
version number on libintl.so gets bumped fairly often.
In order to fix the problem you need to rebuild all of the ports that
depend on devel/gettext, which you can do by:
# portupgrade -fr devel/gettext
Cheers,
Matthew
[1] portupgrade(1) saves a copy in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg unless
you use the '-u' flag.
