I have been having problem with installing gettext package from macports. When I am launching

 /opt/local/bin/port -v install apache2

it checks dependencies, and continues with gettext package installation. But the configure process freezes here:

checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E

and nothing happens.. can wait hours, nothing changes.

I tried to configure, make, make install manually for that package and it went all fine. But, when same configure is launched by ports, it hangs there. Question:

1) How can that be fixed? 2) Maybe I can somehow manually tell ports, that I installed that gettext package manually already?

Sorry, if wrong "site" for this question. Felt most proper one.
