Description Adam Bowers 2004-10-06 16:44:28 UTC

After emerging gdesklets-core, all the available desklet-* in portage, and the psisensors running the command gdesklets returns with command not found.  All work done as root.  I also tried the gdesklets-core-30.ebuild with the same outcome.  All dependencies emerged.  Running gdesklets from Gnome accessories fails as well.  gdesklets Displays is available in Gnome accessories.

Try re-emerging the package "gettext" and updating portage to the latest version.

I had the same issue... turned out it wasn't installing because the msgfmt binary was broken.

That fixed it right up.
