It was a _real basic_ system when I encountered this failure: [dnetc was not installed yet] [neither was gmake]

$ pkg_info
dnetc-2.9008.491_1,1 Distributed.net distributed computing project client
gettext-0.14.1      GNU gettext package
gmake-3.80_2        GNU version of 'make' utility
libiconv-1.9.2_1    A character set conversion library
libtool-1.5.10_1    Generic shared library support script (version 1.5)
perl-5.8.6_2        Practical Extraction and Report Language
$

The second time I ran make, I did not get the nice blue curses interface to choose
examples or html man pages for gettext, it just built [without either, I assume].


I tried to build gettext on my second 5.4-R test machine, [also a bare-metal install this morning] this time without examples, and it built straightaway.

It should (and does, for others) build with default options though..

What other ports do you have installed?  Perhaps it is detecting one
of them and enabling broken code.
