[pypy-dev] Trouble building pypy

[Leonardo Santagada]

Maybe you are using macports?

If I get that error there is a problem finding gettext 64bits. IIRC
pypy on osx doesn't use gettext at all.

You can try to install a universal (or at least 64bit) gettext like
the one from rudix[1][2], but I think your problem is in your python,
try to use the apple provided one. I'm lurking at the #pypy channel on
freenode and I can try to help.
