You are right -- I do.

/usr/X11R6/bin/xgettext is the first one in my path, plus I have
/usr/pkg/bin/xgettext. (The man page for xgettext doesn't indicate GNU or
X11.)

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  24576 Dec 16  1999 /usr/X11R6/bin/xgettext
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  69632 Oct 14 00:59 /usr/pkg/bin/xgettext

I am not sure where the X11 one came from, as far as I can tell (tar tzf
on the x sets doesn't show it).

By the way my path is:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/pkg/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/pkg/sbin

I haven't seen it documented, but does this mean that to use pkgsrc, I
should have /usr/pkg/bin before /usr/X11R6/bin?

Or should I get rid of the one in X11?

Thanks for all the assistance.
