RE: Make failing for po, with gnome-libs-1.0.3 too

[Steve Homer <shomer fmco com>]

After getting my system running (by disabling nls) albeit with a few
problems, I had a proper look at the makefile. I think that the makefile is
pointing at 'no' to suggest that the binary 'getmsg' does not exist. I
suspected this before but having no idea which binary should have been used
it didn't really help me.

I should also apologise because after I got the system working I found the
answer to my problem in the gnome-libs README file. (oops!) I'm downloading
the latest version now and I'll see how I go with that.

Great work guys, 0.99.7 looks really promising, lets see what the new
version is like!

Steve.

Hi Folks, 

First of all: This is my first Mail to this list. I tried the gnome-1.00
release on my machine and was very impressed by the possibilities of this
gui.
On the other hand it seems to be not very stable. I would be glad if I could
help in making Gnome as rock solid as the Linux kernel.

The only problem I have with Gnome is that this release was called 1.0 - I
think it is bad promotion to have a release which is not very stable. A
better
way would have been to call it gnome-0.5 and ask everbody interested in
gnome
to test it if he can cope with possible problems.

Interesting. I am running Debian 2.1 and there is no "no"-binary in gettext.
I
solved the Problem by changing the Makefile from 

GETMSG=no

to 

GETMSG=getmsg

Question: Why is the "getmsg"-binary called "no" in RedHat? If it has a good
reason I should file a bug report against the gettext paket of Debian.
