Newbie: problems building dia from SVN

["Zembower, Kevin" <kzembowe jhuccp org>]

I'm trying to follow up on Steffen's suggestion to build dia 0.97 from
SVN to correct the problem I experienced with the UML Properties window.

I got these errors after downloading from svn and trying to compile:
kevinz kevinz-laptop:~/dia-0.97/dia$ ./autogen.sh
Running gettextize...
./autogen.sh: 63: glib-gettextize: not found

You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to
`aclocal.m4'.

**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GMODULE_CFLAGS
and GMODULE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Before I started flailing around, I thought I would ask here to see if
someone would guide my attempts to get this compiled. Also, I thought
that this might be helpful to developers. My system is Ubuntu 8.04
Heron, up to date.

Thanks so much for any suggestions.
