         I am having trouble installing elm from ports, I get this message:

      /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lintl
    *** Error code 1

        I did a google search and people have been experiencing this problem a
    lot when building packages from ports lately.

        Someone recommended upgrading the ports as this has supposedly been
    corrected.
        I upgraded my ports tree with cvsup, and tried building again, but get
    the same error.

        Someone recommended I install gettext-old, as quoted here:
    " Any ideas ?

    > > >"

      so I searched in my ports collection, and cannot find a gettext-old
    package. I also searched through the ports collection on FreeBSD.org and
    cannot find any packages called gettext-old.

      I am at a dead end. Anyone have any ideas here? I am running FreeBSD
    4.8 Release. Thanks.
