Dear all,
I m a newbie to linux.
I have been trying to create c++ code generated from glademm.

I m using Red Hat 9 (Kernel 2.4) which comes with packages gtk -2.2,
glade 1.1.3 , automake 1.6.3, autoconf 2.57 , glib 2.0

I have installed the following packages also

glademm 2.6.0
gtkmm 2.2
libglademm 2.2
libgnomecanvasmm 2.0
libgconfmm 2.0
libgnomemm 2.0
libgnomeuimm 2.0
libsigc++ 1.2

On running ./autogen.sh ,I get the following error...

Please use AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) in order to cause autoconfiguration
to look for an external libintl.

Please create po/Makevars from the template in po/Makevars.template.
You can then remove po/Makevars.template.

Please run 'automake m4/Makefile' to create m4/Makefile.in

Please run 'aclocal -I m4' to regenerate the aclocal.m4 file.
You need aclocal from GNU automake 1.5 (or newer) to do this.
Then run 'autoconf' to regenerate the configure file.

You might also want to copy the convenience header file gettext.h
from the /usr/share/gettext directory into your package.
It is a wrapper around <libintl.h> that implements the configure --disable-nls
option.

Press Return to acknowledge the previous five paragraphs.

You can do just what it says and replace AC_CONFIG_HEADER with AM_CONFIG_HEADER. Do a google search to see if the syntax is any different (I don't remember). I've done that one myself working with older packages.

I agree with the other poster, though, use newer packages if possible, it makes everything a lot easier.
