Hi,

Basically, it isn't a bug, or at most is a "bug" consisting of an
ambiguity in the gettext documentation.  Tuxtype had the following in
configure.ac:

AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.17])

I had thought this meant a minimum version, but it creates a
requirement for the version to be exactly 0.17.  Although Autoconf
complains if this macro is omitted, it is not required, and apparently
we just need to leave it out if we are to be able to work on tuxtype
with either gettext 0.17 or 0.18.

Best,

David
