Found the problem. I needed the gettext-devel package i just had gettext
only.
 
Might be helpfull to add this to the HACKING notes.
 
Thx,
Sarvi

        Subject: Upstart trunk build problems
        
        
         
        Hi,
          I am having trouble building upstart from trunk. Would
appreciate some pointers. Is upstart trunk building.
         
          I just pulled lp/upstart and lp/libnih into their respective
directories in a workspace.
        I seem to have the right version of AutoConf, AutoMake, gettext
and libtool. versions specified in the HACKING file of upstart.
         
        But yet, I get the following errors when I do autoreconf under
libnih
         
        sarvi-lnx.cisco.com:251> autoreconf
        configure.ac:13: warning: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION' not
found in library
        configure.ac:14: warning: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in
library
        autoreconf: configure.ac: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION is used, but
not AM_GNU_GETTEXTconfigure.ac:13: error: possibly undefined macro:
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION
              If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
              See the Autoconf documentation.
        configure.ac:14: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT
        autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
        sarvi-lnx.cisco.com:252>
         
        autoconf -f also has the same problem.
         
        sarvi-lnx.cisco.com:253> autoconf -f
        configure.ac:13: error: possibly undefined macro:
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION
              If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
              See the Autoconf documentation.
        configure.ac:14: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT
        sarvi-lnx.cisco.com:254>
        
        If I uncomment the these two defintions in the configure.ac file
I get the following.
         
        sarvi-lnx.cisco.com:255> autoreconf
        configure.ac:21: required file `./compile' not found

        sarvi-lnx.cisco.com:256> ls
        
        Thanks,
        Sarvi
