Re: AIX glib compile error message "gettext not found"

[Salman Mohsin <ssmohsin yahoo com>]

After doing what Daniel asked me to do (setting environment variables), configure went a few steps further but again gave the same error:

When I look at the configure.log file, following are the final few entries in it. I'm putting them here in the hope that someone might be able to decipher what's going on. Any help would really be appreciated:

I'm really stuck here. I even tried to download the source for "gettext" and make/compile it locally (just in case the binary files that I have, might not be okay 100%), but when I run "make" (after successfully running configure), it'd hang the machine and would continue spawning new processes running "hostname"!! I have no idea why would that happen but didn't have time to investigate that further or problem-solve that on gettext development list. My concern is to be able to get glib on our machine so that we could start using it.

 

Thanks,

Salman

This is typically what I do, adjust if you are not using a csh variant.

setenv CFLAGS '-I/usr/local/include'
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib
setenv CPPFLAGS '-I/usr/local/include'

set path=( $path /usr/local/bin)

Hi,

 

I'm trying to compile glib on my AIX 4.3.3 machine. When I run "configure", it gives an error message after a few checks, saying:

 

checking for locale.h... yes
checking for LC_MESSAGES... yes
checking libintl.h usability... no
checking libintl.h presence... no
checking for libintl.h... no
configure: error:
*** You must have either have gettext support in your C library, or use the
*** GNU gettext library. (http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html

The problem is, I have gettext installed on the machine. If I search for it, I can see that:

 

/usr/local/bin/glib-gettextize
/usr/local/bin/gettext
/usr/local/bin/gettext.sh
/usr/local/bin/gettextize
/usr/local/bin/ngettext
/usr/local/bin/xgettext
/usr/local/lib/gettext
/usr/local/lib/libgettextlib.la
/usr/local/lib/libgettextpo.a
/usr/local/lib/libgettextpo.la
/usr/local/lib/libgettextsrc.la

 

/usr/local/lib/libintl.a
/usr/local/lib/libintl.la
/usr/local/include/libintl.h

Now, how do I make configure see these?? Can someone please help me as I'm really stuck.

 

Thanks very much,

Salman
