hmm, I wonder what the best way is to resolve this...My take would be to leave the 0.18 in. I think all newer distributions have 0.18 now (the gettext version was released almost 2 years ago) and older ones could patch it during the package building... this would leave out people who want to compile it themselves and are on older distributions and those should be able to install gettext 0.18 by hand... My solution therefore would be to pump the configure requirement up to 0.18, so that people get an error message in case they don't have the correct version installed...cheers ARUN
I don't see the point of this. xboard works fine with 0.17. So why make 0.18 a _requirement_? Many people run distributions older than 2 years (e.g. for engine testing). Michel
