Any ideas on how to approach this undefined > variable, or just try 'echo' in configure? This bug is very likely not an Autoconf bug, but an issue with third-party Autoconf macros. Presumably, AC_PROG_INTLTOOL comes from GNOME's intltool package, and the MSGFMT setting from some gettext macros. That's where you should probably continue searching. Hope that helps.
