I cannot compile in FC4

[BPFowler]

[root@linux XaraLX-0.5r1175]# sh autogen.sh
Can't exec "autopoint": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 288, <GEN0> line 305.

Do you have the correct version of gettext?

autopoint is an executable, and you may want to check that it is on your path with a command like:

$ which autopoint

It is possible that compiling on Fedora may need some specific settings as compared to other distributions of linux.

I think I have a later version of gettext

[BPFowler]

I believe that you need gettext (v0.14.3 or greater); If this version is not in your repository, you might want to consult with other Fedora users, or install gettext from source.

I got the same error on Fedora Core 5 and have gettext 0.14.5 installed:

[root@thirteen XaraLX-0.5r1323]# gettext --version
gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.14.5

After screwing around I found out that Fedora (at least 5) puts autopoint in the gettext-devel package. So for me it was just a matter of

yum install gettext-devel

and then autoreconf -fis ran with no problems.

Hope this didn't come too late for ya...
