[GRASS-dev] locale problem - configuration fails with nls

[Michael Barton]

I've never compiled --with-nls prior to this. However, at least a few years back, GRASS that I compiled came up in Spanish on my colleague's machines--either because the with-nls flag dates to a few years back or because it worked in spite of not compiling with-nls. No one told me when this stopped working and my builds were only in English, so I'm in the dark on  that.

I just tried to compile with-nls, but got this config error

checking whether to use NLS... yes
checking for gettext... no
checking for gettext in -lintl... no
configure: error: *** Unable to locate gettext() function.


I KNOW that I have python gettext. So how do I specify it? Or is this a non-Python gettext that I must install separately?
