Thanks for the assist Marius, but so far my luck hasn't changed ...

Dave,
Try passing 

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include

and

LDFLAGS="-flat_namespace -L/usr/local/lib"

This results in the system not being able to build executables:

 $ ./configure PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/pkg-config GETTEXT_PACKAGE=/usr/local/bin/gettext CPPFLAGS=-l/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-flat_namespace -L/usr/local/lib

Hmm. Next I tried a few variations on the theme. If I use CPPFLAGS=-L/usr/local/include instead (capitol L instead of lowercase l), I end up with the same original problem. I also tried running with just the LDFLAGS argument and then tried changing the LDFLAGS argument to LDFLAGS="-flat_namespace -L/usr/local/include" just for fun, but still no luck:

  $ ./configure PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/pkg-config GETTEXT_PACKAGE=/usr/local/bin/gettext LDFLAGS=-flat_namespace -L/usr/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-L/usr/local/include

Any other thoughts? I'm starting to feel rather lost and can't believe that I'm the first to encounter this issue, it's to fundamental (it won't build!).

Hi folks!
I'm actually trying to build Wireshark on a Mac mini running OSX 10.4.10, but to do that I have to first build GTK2. So far, I'm not even that far.

I've grabbed pkg-config and gettext and have successfully built both of them in the /usr/local/bin directory. Trying to build glib2 though always results in the same problem:

No matter what I try, I run into this same problem. Tried building with gcc3.3, gcc4.0, sending arguments to find gettext and trying to discover what linker flags might make it go - all always end up with this same exact error. I get that's it's a linker issue, running into an undefined symbol (_libintl_ngettext), but isn't that supposed to be in gettext?

What piece of the puzzle am I missing??? What am I doing wrong???
