Installation Problems
---------------------
If you get unresolved externals "gettext" you should run configure
again with the option "--with-included-gettext"; this is version
- 0.10.40 which is available at ftp.gnu.org.
+ 0.12.1 which is available at ftp.gnu.org.
If you have other compile problems, try the configure options
"--with-included-zlib" or "--disable-nls" (See ABOUT-NLS) or
