I’m trying to install php5-core from ports. The build process makes use of
gettext which on its turn makes use of lib-expat from X11-base. As I’m
working on a web-server I have no need for X11 and thus I do not want to
‘install’ the source.
Is there another option in acquiring expat which works with gettext
(expat.8.0)?

I assume you are using 4.1 (I currently use 4.0 where gettext/expat does not rely on X11).

You could try one of the following:
- use the package
(ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.1/packages/)
- get VMWare, install OpenBSD with X11 support, compile the package on your
own.

no_x11 does not imply that X11 is not required at compilation time.

HTH, Helmut
