gettext doesnt work

[Georg Horn]

Hi,

i have a problem with gettext on a slackware 9.0 system with
gcc 3.2.2 and glibc 2.3.1. I have the following C program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <libintl.h>

int main(void)
{
    putenv("LANG=de");
    bindtextdomain("test", "/home/horn/tmp");
    textdomain("test");
    setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
    puts(gettext("bla"));
    return 0;
}

/home/horn/tmp/de/LC_MESSAGES/ has these files:

-rw-r--r--    1 horn     root           58 Apr 25 11:50 test.mo
-rw-r--r--    1 horn     root           29 Apr 25 10:45 test.po

test.po contains:

msgid "bla"
msgstr "blubb"

and test.po is built from test.mo with msgfmt -otest.mo test.po
but the test-program always says "bla" instead of "blubb". With strace i
can see, that it not even tries to open some file below /home/horn/tmp
Setting the envoronment variable LANG to "de" within the shell
doesn't work to.

Is this a bug or am i missing something? (The same program works on an old
SuSe-System with libc-2.1.2 and gcc version egcs-2.91.66)

Bye and TIA,
Georg
