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

[William Kyngesburye]

It's in the libintl library, not Python gettext.  Another dependency to worry about on OS X.  I'll dig up my notes later this evening for you.

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.
