Problems building on RH9

[Ian Dall]

I have the latest CVS HEAD and am having trouble building on RH9.
I think I have all the dependancies, at least there is no complaint
from autogen/configure. My build tree is distinct from my src tree.

Compiling fails with:

  make[1]: Entering directory `/usr1/local/build/gnucash/po'
  INTLTOOL_EXTRACT=../intltool-extract; \
  ../intltool-update --pot --gettext-package gnucash
  readline() on closed filehandle FILE at ../intltool-update line 425.
  readline() on closed filehandle INFILE at ../intltool-update line 458.
  WARNING: It seems that none of the files in POTFILES.in contain marked strings
  make[1]: *** [gnucash.pot-update] Error 1

After this POTFILES.in is empty (zero length). It seems that intltool-update
does not know how to find the POTFILES.in in the source tree. If I fake
up POTFILES.in (copying it from the source tree and modifying the paths)
it still doesn't work failing with lots of messages like:

  can't open
  ..//usr/local/src/gnucash/src/business/business-gnome/glade/billterms.glade:
  No such file or directory at /usr/bin/intltool-extract line 176.

The path should, of course be missing the leading ../, but I have know
idea where that comes from. Is it supposed to be possible to build
outside the source tree?

Please include me on any replies as I am not subscribed to the list
(though I did scan the archives).

Thanks,

Ian
