William do you have firebird installed? I can reproduce the problem here, but in general we shouldn't have libintl on Linux since those functions are provided by the C library. On the other hand, dev-db/firebird installs a libfbintl.so library with a libintl.so.1 SONAME which cause a disowned /usr/lib/libintl.so.1 to be created which, I suppose, could be detected by libintl-perl.

Yes, firebird is installed (2.5.0.26074.0).

[Comment 7 Juergen Rose 2011-05-03 13:31:33 UTC]

I have the same issue. perl-cleaner --all fails with:
...
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lintl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
...
 * ERROR: dev-perl/libintl-perl-1.20 failed (compile phase):


and dev-db/firebird-2.5.0.26074.0 is installed.

What should I do?

[Comment 8 Alessandro Surace 2011-09-21 13:46:58 UTC]

Same problem here:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lintl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lintl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

No news?

[Comment 9 Alessandro Surace 2012-05-10 19:33:01 UTC]

Some neww about this problem!
Searching I've rescricted the problem to libintl.so.

In deep when Makefile.PL enter in gettext_xs dir and find libintl it configures Makefile to use -lintl and the make process fails. I can't understand why. 

I've removed firbird that install /usr/lib/libintl.so and now everything works.

Perhaps Perl Devs can help us to undestand why this happens.

[Comment 10 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2012-05-30 04:10:48 UTC]

Please attach config.log and `perl -V` too.

[Comment 11 Alexandr Tiurin 2012-06-01 20:57:15 UTC]

I can reproduce this problem too. But after failed build dev-perl/libintl-perl ,  I deleted a firebird

# emerge -C firebird

and install  a firebird as a  binary package from PKGDIR

# emerge -k firebird

Then I built dev-perl/libintl-perl again 

# emerge -1 dev-perl/libintl-perl

and libintl-perl built fine.

[Comment 13 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2012-06-22 12:57:52 UTC]

@tove can you do something about this? Even a blocker at this point might be a good idea.

[Comment 14 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2012-06-22 13:48:46 UTC]

I am not able to reproduce it.
I still like to see the config.log file and find out why the first gcc call without -lintl fails.

[Comment 15 Alexandr Tiurin 2012-06-29 12:31:34 UTC]

Where can I find this file?

Reproduced it ... blocker should avoid further issues

[Comment 19 William L. Thomson Jr. 2013-09-08 15:56:57 UTC]

I think this bug needs to be reopened and/or blocker for Firebird in libintl-perl-1.230 for Firebird needs to be removed. Firebird should NOT provide libintl.so but libfbintl.so, that was changed by me a very long time ago. This was an incorrect blocker and fix to some old problem that no longer exists. The version of Firebird mentioned in thus bug is not even in the tree any longer. I removed the blocker and had no problem merging libintl-perl-1.230 as seen below.

Please drop the blocker from libintl-perl ebuild, #c19 is right.
