@MSGMERGE@ Error in balsa Makefile

[Michael Goll <michael goll com>]

Hi

Since I've upgraded from Red Hat 7.2 to 7.3 I've been unable to make balsa from cvs which I've been doing nightly for the past year or so.  As usual I first run sh autogen.sh.  There's nothing out of the ordinary in the config.log.

When I subsequently run make, I get

Makefile in the po subdirectory seems to have a new unresolved entry

MSGMERGE = msgmerge
MSGMERGE_UPDATE = @MSGMERGE@ --update

Here are the software levels of some of the components.

autoconf-2.13-17
automake-1.4p5-4
gcc-2.96-110
gettext-0.11.1-2
gnome-core-1.4.0.4-54
libtool-1.4.2-7
make-3.79.1-8
libc-5.3.12-31

Any ideas?

Thanks a million,

Take care...
