POedit freezes after pressing save buttton

[RayCherng Yu]

My VM has 4gb RAM and 20gb hardisk.I forgot how much swapspace it had. I
think it has enough swap space because I installed FreeBSD 10.2 with
automatic disk allocation to entire disk space.


I deleted that vm and created a new one in order to test the xfce logout
menu option but I have not installed xwindow and xfce for that vm yet so I
can't test it now.

I tested poedit again 30 minute ago on another machine(2008 macbook,
FreeBSD 11-CURRENT with xwindow and KDE installed). I make po to create a
fresh po file and translate the "FreeBSD Porter's Handbook" to "FreeBSD
Porter"(delete several).Then,pressed save button.I got this error message:

無法執行程式：msgfmt -o /dev/null -c
"/usr/home/raycherng/doc/zh_TW.UTF-8/books/porters-handbook/zh_TW.temp.po"

The Chinese message means "Cannot run:"

My poedit version is:

poedit-1.8.4_1                 Gettext catalogs (.po files) editor
