Patrizio: could you attach the output of `emerge --info`?

no news here? all my nls apps works perfectly, there should be something with eb..
i just tried this: in /var/tmp/portage/eb-4.2/work/eb-4.2/m4 that's gettext.m4 @ line 310 you find: AC_MSG_ERROR(gettext not available) this is the blocking error. just add an "echo" in front of, and rerun autoconf in main dir. it works. nls works, configure is pretty bugged.
confirmation is: strace /usr/bin/ebinfo open("/usr/share/locale/it_IT@euro/LC_MESSAGES/eb.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/it@euro/LC_MESSAGES/eb.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/it_IT/LC_MESSAGES/eb.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/eb.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "/usr/bin/ebinfo: failed to open "..., 47/usr/bin/ebinfo: failed to open a catalog file it's using nls, but seems that translated messages are not merged in. and it's good cause in sources there are few po/mo files, jap stuff seems. apply this patch and close.
I've just bumped eb to 4.2.1. Does the problem still persist?
exactly same error
i think i found the problem: in config.log i see: p = gettext("foo"); if (*p == 'b' && *(p + 1) == 'a' && *(p + 2) == 'r' && *(p + 3) == '\0') return 0; return 1; it should mean: translate "foo" and check if result is "bar" why??? changing to: p = gettext("foo"); if (*p == 'f' && *(p + 1) == 'o' && *(p + 2) == 'o' && *(p + 3) == '\0') return 0; return 1; works. foo is foo! can you patch this please?
The code is in the right. In normally, gettext translate from foo to bar. cf. ${S}/gttest.po
the bug is gone with lastest 4.2.2 i mark as closed so.
