I tried with your options. Still, same effect. Ok, worth a try.

I found:

paul(at)meerkat:~$ mdfind -name gettext | egrep -vi "/(share|man|bin|system)/"
/usr/local/info/gettext.info
/usr/local/lib/gettext
/Library/i-Installer/Receipts/gettext.ii2receipt
/usr/local/include/gettext-po.h

paul(at)meerkat:~$ mdfind -name libintl | egrep -vi "/(share|man|bin|system)/"
/usr/local/lib/libintl.3.4.3.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libintl.a
/usr/local/lib/libintl.la
/usr/local/include/libintl.h

But I did not *knowingly* install that. I guess it comes as part of Xcode but I really don't know. I'm not a developer, I just want to build PostgreSQL for my Mac.

Cheers,
Paul
