[GRASS-dev] GRASS 7 not finding gettext

[Michael Barton]

I don’t know what has changed, but I just recompiled gettext and redid configure. It still does not find gettext.

The configure flag I’m using is --with-nls

That’s still correct, right?

Here is the error:

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

Here is what seems to be the right place from configure.log
