Hi, I'm a newbie to Ruby and Rails. I am following Sascha Ebach's tutorial on Gettext at http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/105#page298. This tutorial describes a step in which update_pofiles is used to generate the .pot and .po files from .rb and .rhtml files containing gettext calls. However, when I try to use this from rake, it only seems to partially succeed. I see this error:

The content of the testapp.pot included: #: app/controllers/application.rb:6 msgid "blah" msgstr "" I tried changing utils.rb to call rmsgmerge instead of msgmerge, but this seemed to make things worse, as I ended up with a testapp.pot only with no msgid/msgstr pairs in it (the error message disappears). What am I doing wrong?
