My mistake.

I know.

This probably means your libintl is bad.  Take a look at it with nm.
If it doesn't define dgettext, then it is the wrong library.

Again, do you have an mc/intl directory?  Is there anything in it?  On
systems with a bad libintl, a working libintl should be built there.
What sort of system do you have?
