Problem doing a 'make' on GTK+-1.2.1 Can I find help please??

["Jeff Crowther" <jeff crowther ea gov au>]

Hello all

I am having a problem with the 'make' of GTK+-1.2.1
I am running Slackware 2.0.0 Linux with the kernel updated to 2.0.30
I have installed Glib-1.2.1 without problem (as far as I can tell).

Going the ./configure works without problem but on doing the 'make' I get back the following

.libs/libgtk.so: undefined reference to `dgettext'
make[2]: *** [testgtk] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/temp/gtk+-1.2.1/gtk'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/temp/gtk+-1.2.1'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I'm sure there is a simple solution but I don't know what it is.  Can anyone offer up some suggestions please.
