Have a look if you've got other version of libintl in /usr/local/lib. Mine is at '.8': $ ls -l /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 45025 [...] /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 $ pkg_which /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 gettext-0.16.1 > I assume I don't have to reinstall the OS (I hope) so where do I go from > here? Anything under /usr/local is not a part of an OS, "just" some software needs libintl.so.6 and refuses to start. First check if you've got gettext installed and what version. Most probably you'd want to check 20070318 entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING. HTH, Karol -- Karol Kwiatkowski <karol.kwiat at gmail dot com> OpenPGP 0x06E09309
