[GRASS-dev] Re: make pot and G_msg

[Markus Neteler]

Cedric,

(cc grass-dev: the problem was an endless loop in
 cd locale
 make pot
which I had on Redhat Enterprise 4)

...great job finding the problem!
I just arrived and home and launched it here (Mandriva): NO
problem, it takes below 1 minute. In fact, I have 0.14.5.

Thanks for figuring out this detail
(do we now need to test the version of gettext in configure?)

 Markus
