Re: [Gcl-devel] build failure on MAC OS X 10.3.4

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings, and thanks you for following up, Brent!  You are exactly
right -- one needs gettext from fink on macosx.  As our macosx expert

likely to cause a 2.6.3 release soon, would you mind writing up a
little README.macosx detailing the building instructions?

Take care,
