I've tried it, but it gave me some errors, so I've decided to install everything, just to be on the safe side (kind of ;) But I've figured out what was the problem with gettext. It appears that the package does not like when configure is called using full path. To simplify building in separate directories, in script I was always getting the full path to configure script and then called it. And that was causing the trouble for gettext. After I've fixed the script so that it calls './configure' instead, everything started to work. That explains why I could install it manually, since then I called configure this way. Also in chapter 5 I've called configure the same way.
