Re: Question about meld installation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 - ngettext error

[Chris Koknat <chris koknat gmail com>]

Stephen,

Thanks for the good tip.  I need to use a relatively stock version of Red Hat
Enterprise 3, so I looked for an older version of meld.  0.9.5 is the newest
version that still works.  I'm very happy with it.

Here are instructions in case anyone is interested:
