pstoedit failed to build on 10.9

Originally, I was getting the following error:

ld: library not found for -lintl

I Googled around a bit and found this potential solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11151197/ld-library-not-found-for-lintl-on-mac-os-x-lion

I ran brew link --force gettext, which got rid of that error, only to produce a new one:

ld: library not found for -lXext

Guessing this is a problem with X11, but I'm not sure what I can do about it.

Copying in error:

ld: library not found for -lXext

[adamv]

An unmodified formula works here on 10.9.

[adamv]

Can you post the original error?

[jawshooah]

Sure, here: https://gist.github.com/8000169

Error looks like this:

ld: library not found for -lintl
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[1]: *** [libp2edrvmagick++.la] Error 1
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

[adamv]

See also #25076

[jawshooah]

Yes, I saw that. Reinstalled all deps and still getting the same error

[adamv]

Which error, the -linit error?

[jawshooah]

With gettext unlinked, yes. With it linked, it's the -lXext error.

This formula did not build for me on 10.8 because

==> make install
libtool: link: clang++  -o .libs/libp2edrvmagick++.0.so -bundle  .libs/drvmagick++.o .libs/initlibrary.o   -L/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.7-7/lib /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.7-7/lib/libMagick++-6.Q16.dylib -L/usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.1/lib -L/opt/X11/lib /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.7-7/lib/libMagickWand-6.Q16.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.7-7/lib/libMagickCore-6.Q16.dylib -llcms2 -lfreetype -lfftw3 -lfontconfig -lXext -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lXt -lbz2 -lz -lltdl ./.libs/libpstoedit.dylib -lstdc++ -ldl -lm -lgd  -O2   -pthread

I fixed this by adding depends_on :x11

[adamv]

Anyone have any more ideas here?

[MikeMcQuaid]

Yeh, looks like it should need depends_on :x11 at least if it's installed.

[adamv]

I have X11 installed on 10.9 and pstoedit installs OK here.

[adamv]

I don't have gettext linked and I don't get -lintl errors.

[rmellema]

I didn't have gettext linked and I was getting -lintl errors while building R packages. I am using 10.9.

After I linked gettext, the -lintl error was gone. So it might have something to do with the OS version. I did a clean install of Mavericks.

[adamv]

It's possible that if ImageMagick is built using X11 then this also depends on X11, but a clean install of the dependencies on an up-to-date Homebrew didn't exhibit this error for me.

I don't know what else to do to try to diagnose this, other than to recommend brew update, make sure you have the latest Xcode, and try installing again. If it still fails, provide updated troubleshooting information.

Uninstall and reinstall imagemagick worked for me.
