freebsd stable - Oct 2003 - OT: "libintl.so.1" not found

hello,
sorry if this question is off-topic on this list, but I'm quite new in
freeBSD world and I don't have any idea where to ask: I have 4.5-stable box
and when installing from some ports there is output like this:

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libintl.so.1" not found

What is missing or wrong?

$ sudo find . -name '*libintl*' -print 
$ ldd programe-that-caused-the-error-name

The first one tells you where the libintl is installed and what version it
is.  The second one tells you which version and where the programme is
looking for the library.

I had some problems with this when the library was updated by a port but
the dependency on other ports was broken.  A quick ``ln -si'' fixed it
all.  Yes, that's a hack.  I should have re-built all the broken ports.

dookie:~# ldconfig -r | grep intl
        94:-lintl.5 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.5
        155:-lintl.4 => /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/libintl.so.4
dookie:~# pkg_which /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.5
gettext-0.12.1
dookie:~#

'libintl' is a part of 'gettext'.  Try reinstalling that package
and see
if the problem goes away.
