Problem building

[Jim Robison-Cox <jimrc montana com>]

Hi Gnumeric folks,

   I have a problem in trying build gnumeric-1.0.10.   I get this error 
message:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/lib/gnumeric/gnumeric-1.0.10'
./xml-i18n-merge ./po gnumeric.desktop.in gnumeric.desktop -d          -p
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0xd3, 
immediately after start byte 0xf7) in pattern match (m//) at 
./xml-i18n-merge line 329, <PO_FILE> line 19.

This is on a freshly setup RedHat 8.0 machine.  I  have built all the 
dependencies listed on the download page.  Had one problem there, 
building gnome-libs it gives an unresolved reference error to: 
`__db185_open', so that failed.  I suspect that the gnome-libs problem 
is unrelated to my "Malformed UTF" problem, from things I've found in 
the archive suggesting that I don't need to build gnome-libs.

Any clues would be appreciated.
