Compile problems

[Michael Shea <ms008e uhura cc rochester edu>]

I have been trying to install GTK 1.1.12 on my x86 Slackware 3.6 system. 
glib installed fine, but when compiling GTK I get the following error:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o .libs/testgtk testgtk.o -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib
.libs/libgtk.so -L/usr/local/lib -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-lXext -lX11 -lm -lintl -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib

.libs/libgtk.so: undefined reference to `dgettext'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/tmp/gnome/gtk+-1.1.12'

I'm new to the mailing list so I don't know if this has been asked before,
but I several messages from the archive and didn't see anyone else who has
had this problem.  Thanks
