[solved] xfce4-mailwatch-plugin svn not able to compile

After todays update my xfce4-mailwatch-plugin stopped working. I am using the svn version and trying to compile it again gives:

gettext is installed though - what is going on here?

bump

The before mentioned app is not the only one that does not build properly - I tried gnubiff and audio-convert-mod with just the same error message

configure: error: GNU gettext tools not found; required for intltool

What can I do? Would filing a bug-report help?

I haven't tried xfce4-mailwatch-plugin, but audio-convert-mod compiled on my system (both arches) without any problems.  Is there something unusual about your configuration?  Have you tried reinstalling gettext?

You need to install intltool too.

Reinstalling gettext did it - thanks a lot fwojciec - strange - but now it seems to work.
