     I've found two libintl.h's on my system, the later 
     one has declarations for the missing 'ngettext'. 
     I'll hide the older one.

     If you think it would be of use to you i could
     attach gzip'ed copies of the files i used to 
     capature the output of './configure' and 'make'.
