Sure, but in the case of IRIX and OSF, configure found the gettext routines by linking against -lintl. If that works, it ought to set INTLLIBS accordingly. My hardcoding of -lintl wasn't meant to be a general solution. I just meant to demonstrate that configure should be setting this when it's required to find gettext routines. (Again, I don't know why it doesn't look in -lintl for dcgettext.) > This issue is not easy to solve. You may be right about that. My personal suspicion is that the autoconf rules associated with gettext are broken. I suppose that's not your problem. > But since you're in the UK and probably don't need > internationalisation you could also disable it with --disable-nls . Well, actually it's an international laboratory. Less than 1/4 of our staff are native English speakers. Point taken, though. Cheers, David
