Sorry for that, i never used reply to all before, i will now :)
I already solve the problem. This is what i do. I went away installing
gettext through yum using the PYTHONPATH:
[root@M-Touch root]# PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages yum install
gettext
the installation went well.
[root@M-Touch etc]# rpm -q gettext
gettext-0.11.4-7
I'm sure than i could rebuild yum*src*rpm
before doing that i uninstall yum
[root@M-Touch etc]# rpm -e yum
[root@M-Touch etc]# rpm --rebuild yum-2.2.2-1.src.rpm
the build was successfull, and i straight away use the rpm to install yum
[root@M-Touch etc]# rpm -ivh
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/yum-2.2.2-1.noarch.rpm
