problems with intl

[Brian M Dial <bdial rkkengineers com>]

Greetings,

I've encountered a reocurring problem that while not fatal, is rather
odd and annoying.  I've gotten all of gnome to work but with most apps
when I'm ./configuring I get this error

Creating intl/Makefile
sed: can't read ./intl/Makefile.in: No such file or directory

then of course, a make bombs in intl.  So using my non-programming
method of compiling, I remove intl from the directories to make in the
top level Makefile and it compiles and runs fine.  I am curious why this
is happening though

Profile:
Slackware 3.6
Glibc 2.0.7pre6 
xfree86 3.3.3.1 (glibc2 version)
latest autoconf/automake/libtool/gettext
sed version 3.02a

I can't remember but I don't think this was the sed that came wtih
slackware.  I might've upgraded it.  Should I revert to an older? Is
that the problem?  I've enclosed my config.log below.  I'd appreciate
any input people may have.

-Brian
