Configure error with 0.1.49

[Philip Balister <balister vt edu>]

I run ./configure --prefix=`gnome-config --prefix` --sysconfdir=`gnome-config --sysconfdir`

and get :

checking for catalogs to be installed...  da es fr ja no pl pt_PT sv uk
sed: can't read ./intl/po2tbl.sed.in: No such file or directory
checking for glib-config... /usr/bin/glib-config

checking for gob >= 0.92.4... ./configure: test: too many arguments
./configure: test: too many arguments

It's a RH6.1 machine
