gettext-runtime -> libintl. problem recognising intl from libiconv an glib.

[Andrew SG Rojek]

Dev,

Whilst installing glib in a non-standard location, the configure  
script failed
to recognise gettext when it is installed into the same non-standard  
location.

Back-tracking though the installations, libiconv also failed to  
recognise gettext
breaking the circular reference and I managed to isolate the problem  
to libintl.
Interestingly, when installed into the default location, it  
configures, makes and
installs properly recognising the header and libraries.

This is the output generated from various scripts.

gettext-1.16.1
=== configuring in gettext-runtime
...
checking whether included gettext is requested... no
checking for GNU gettext in libc... no
checking for GNU gettext in libintl... no
checking whether to use NLS... yes
checking where the gettext function comes from... included intl  
directory

=== configuring in gettext-tools
...
checking whether included gettext is requested... no
checking for GNU gettext in libc... no
checking for GNU gettext in libintl... no
checking whether to use NLS... yes
checking where the gettext function comes from... included intl  
directory

libiconv-1.12
checking for GNU gettext in libintl... no

glib-2.16.3
checking libintl.h usability... no
checking libintl.h presence... no
checking for libintl.h... no

The library and header are actually installed in the proper locations  
but
complementary software fails to recognise libintl when not installed  
into
the default location. Other software seems to install as expected under
non-standard locations.

I would appreciate any feed back.
