Re: build pspp 1.2.0 from source fails on linux

[Alan Mead]

I have no familiarity with msgfmt, but the error says that your build cannot find a library named gettext version 0.21. So, maybe you need to install it? Or update it to at least 0.21? Or ensure the build process is looking for it in the correct place? If you're running Ubuntu, it looks like older Ubuntu have older versions of this library:

Hi, I can’t seem to build pspp-1.2.0 from source on a linux machine:

$ ./configure --without-cairo
$ make
msgfmt: error while loading shared libraries: libgettextsrc-0.21.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I googled around to find this askubuntu question but it didn’t help
Any help is very much appreciated, thanks !
