However I did not choose git either and I do have git installed. So really I don't know what I am seeing this problem. > Could you provide the error log if you are really having the problem > with it? I will go back and extract from the source tarball, apply Stefano's patch manually and then run configure and let make run.

What's the reasoning > behind you saying it is the last portable version? Sorry .. bad morning and a bad day trying to get this and cmake to build as well as a few other things. I really need to watch my tone when working on too many coffee and no successful build results. :-\ Version 0.18.1.1 builds perfectly and passes ALL of its testsuite. It does this on my Solaris, RHEL, SUSE/Novell and Debian servers and works great. I have yet to get a single release thereafter to do the same across all platforms. I need to have consistency across a number of servers and therefore a release from a project somewhere ( such as autoconf, automake or even GNU make ) must work flawlessly and pass all of its own testsuite on all platforms to be considered production grade. Even then the entire stack must run for months in testing before I can promote it upwards to general internal user testing and then out to a production server set. So, to make a long story short, I have not seen a single release ofGNU gettext do that since 0.18.1.1 and that is what I mean. Having said all that, I now want to upgrade to the current release and therefore must carefully build and test and then integrate into my existing software stack and test further etc etc. So I may as well dig in and post the various things I am seeing. dev
