gnome-libs compile snafus

[Bob Bernstein <bernie brainiac com>]

Well, it appeared that I had gotten through the configure problem. Next I ran
into problems with libintl.h. The link in /intl gets set ok, and it's all
right if you're in that directory. But the three files that include this file,
i.e. the three that I found, include it as '#include <libintl.h>', and this
does not appear to enable the include file itself to be found. These three
files are gnome-i18n.h and gnome-i18nP.h in /libgnome, and gnome-stock.c in
/libgnomeui.

I'm not sure how to fix this. Changing the includes for all three to
<.././intl/libintl.h> seemed to work, but that move plunged my into another
problem. (And it doesn't of course appear to be anything but an amateurish
kludge on my part.)

The new problem is that after making these changes, _or_ after running 'make
clean', I now come up with the following immediately after starting 'make':

bedlam# make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/gnome0.2/gnome-libs-0.20'
Making all in po
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/gnome0.2/gnome-libs-0.20/po'
PATH=../src:$PATH : --default-domain=gnome-libs --directory=.. \
  --add-comments --keyword=_ --keyword=N_ \
  --files-from=./POTFILES.in
rm -f ./gnome-libs.pot
mv gnome-libs.po ./gnome-libs.pot
mv: gnome-libs.po: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [gnome-libs.pot] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gnome0.2/gnome-libs-0.20/po'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gnome0.2/gnome-libs-0.20'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

Now I am bamboozled almost beyond even my hefty capacity for feeling confused.
Oh well, this all keeps me out of the bars, and that please my probation
officer, so I'm a winner after all, right? <g>

As usual, all admonitions, excoriations, praise and blame will be carefully
examined. TIA.
