error in example / gettext-0.17 -- update (subprocess I/O error) -- preliminary solution

[Rainer Tammer]

Hello,
I have found a preliminary solution for this problem:

If I remove

#undef HAVE_POSIX_SPAWN

in gettext-tools/config.h.in prior to the configure run then the I/O
error problem is gone.

So I suspect that somethint with the POSIX_SPAWN is wrong on AIX.


Bye
