[GRASS-user] fatal error: 'libintl.h' file not found (OSX)

[Michael Barton]

I do compile GRASS with internationalization for 6.4.3 and above. However, there have repeatedly been some problems with the way this is implemented on the Mac. Mainly, the internal checks for what is the system language implemented in the GUI have tended to only look at environment settings that are implemented in Linux but not OSX. Another problem with some addons (possibly with r.stream.extract) is the tendency to hardwire searches for needed (and unneeded) libraries to only look in places specific to Linux. There is no reason that libintl.h should be required to compile r.stream.extract. So either this is a bogus error or improper compilation files.
