ngettext() handles translating strings where plural and singular forms of
the same string are needed. ngettext() is in the gettext library. If
upgrading gettext doesn't fix it, try to use
"./configure --with-included-gettext".

I've already modified the configure script so that it will check for
ngettext(). The next release should not have this problem.
