Gnome-terminal is in /usr/bin... I would imagine that Helix would place
things in the same place as normal GNOME. After all, Miguel et al. wrote a
lot of the GNOME code, and what they didnt write, they oversaw. :)

Removed and reinstalled the RPM for gettext. Still no dice. Perhaps

Oddly enough, I was able to get EveryBuddy working via CVS, though I
believe their "gen" script is much more minimalistic compared to
autogen.sh.

Wierd.
