Weird Problem with mc-4.5.38 (The one with the attachment didn't make it)

[Ramses Morales <ramses computer org>]

Hi.

Please read carefully.

I always use the source tarballs.

-I had mc-4.5.37 perfectly working,
-then I downloaded mc-4.5.38 and gnome-libs-1.0.16, 
-uninstalled mc-4.5.37 (make uninstall) and uninstalled
gnome-libs-1.0.15,
-compiled and installed gnome-libs-1.0.16,
-tried to compile mc-4.5.38 and failed (error message at the end of this
mail),
-tried to recompile and reinstall the previously perfectly working
mc-4.5.37,
-mc-4.5.37 failed with the same errors as mc-4.5.38,
-uninstalled gnome-libs-1.0.16 and recompiled and reinstalled
gnome-libs-1.0.15,
-mc-4.5.37 and mc-4.5.38 still fail with the same error, 
-unless I use the option --with-included-gettext in the ./configure
step,
-but I don't like that because mc-4.5.37 worked before without that
option.

The problem seems to be in /usr/lib/libintl.a. I don't know where that
file came from, because rpm -qf /usr/lib/libintl.a says it isn't owned
by any package. It's date is from 1996.

Thanks for your help.
