Trouble building gtklib.so

[Jerry Mead <mead bucknell edu>]

When I build gtk1.1.12 :

  1.  ./configure seems to work fine
  2.  Everything compiles and the libraries are built and put
      in gtk/.libs
  3.  Then testgtk (or is it gtktest?) compiles but fails to link.
      The following error occurs (from memory...)
      .libs/libgtk.so... unresolved reference to dgettext

I have done considerable searching and playing around to resolve this
but it always appears.  There were more unresolved refs in libgtk.so
but I installed gettext -- the other unresolved references went away
(like dcgettext) and the 'dgettext' appeared.

Running recent slackware.

Any help greatly appreciated.
