Running ./autogen.sh should already be requiring minimum tools; look at how bootstrap.conf has the $buildreq variable that includes gettext 0.17 as a prereq. Maybe the problem is that you can have a system with gettext but not msgmerge? What distro are you using, and what package(s) did you install to get things working? How are the binaries divided between packages? Do we need to add a line to $buildreq? -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
