Glib bug in configure script.

[Kenneth P. Turvey]

I'm attempting to get the mixasm package installed at work such that I can 
work through the problems in the "The Art of Computer Programming" by Donald
Knuth using the MIX fantasy processor.  Unfortunately this package requires
glib and I'm having some problems getting it to install.  

The configure script that is distributed with glib refuses to recognize the 
gnu gettext that I installed specifically for this purpose.  The version of
gettext is:

xgettext --version
xgettext (GNU gettext) 0.10.40

I installed this under my home directory using:

configure --prefix=/my/home/directory

I have tried setting XGETTEXT=/home/kpturvey/bin/xgettext without success.  
I have also tried compiling it without nls and this hasn't had any effect 
either.  The complete configure output follows.  Any help in getting this 
to build would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
