gettext-0.18.1.1...

[Alexander Ward Kulungowski]

GNU gettext,

I don't know how critical this is: a search on Google turned up very
little.  I'm using the following instructions for building and installing
gettext:

=====
http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/

After installing GNU libiconv for the first time, it is recommended to
recompile and reinstall GNU gettext, so that it can take advantage of
libiconv.

On systems other than GNU/Linux, the iconv program will be
internationalized only if GNU gettext has been built and installed before
GNU libiconv. This means that the first time GNU libiconv is installed, we
have a circular dependency between the GNU libiconv and GNU gettext
packages, which can be resolved by building and installing either

    * first libiconv, then gettext, then libiconv again,

or (on systems supporting shared libraries, excluding AIX)

    * first gettext, then libiconv, then gettext again.
=====

.  In particular, I'm using the second suggest build/install order, i.e.,

=====
* first gettext, then libiconv, then gettext again.
=====

.  When running "make check" on gettext the __second__ time (all tests
past the first time I run "make check"), I'm seeing this:
