[Fedora-xen] Tryimg to build virt-manager from mercurial: getting error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT - why ?

[Mark Ryden]

Hello,
- Thanks all.

- Ok, I ran: "yum install gettext-devel" and installed
gettext-devel-0.14.6-4.fc6.
Now:
running:
./autobuild.sh
gives:
make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'.
libtoolize: `config.guess' exists: use `--force' to overwrite
libtoolize: `config.sub' exists: use `--force' to overwrite
libtoolize: `ltmain.sh' exists: use `--force' to overwrite

../configure: line 1977: syntax error near unexpected token `0.35.0,'
../configure: line 1977: `IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0, no-xml)'
line 1977 includes :
where: IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0, no-xml)

As I said, I have intltool-0.35.5 on this machine (built and installed
from source tar file).

Any ideas ?
Regards,
Mark
