I use ubuntu-11.10.
I just issued "sudo apt-get install gettext" and things worked.
What do you mean by "How are the binaries divided between packages?" ?
I'd say in my system packages installed by apt-get are all installed
in default directories, such as /usr/local
On Fedora, 'autopoint' is part of gettext-devel-0.18.1.1-8.fc16.x86_64,
but 'gettext' and 'msgmerge' are parts of
gettext-0.18.1.1-8.fc16.x86_64. Thus, checking for either the 'gettext'
or the 'gettext-devel' package in isolation is wrong; a bootstrap of
libvirt needs both packages on Fedora (then again, gettext-devel depends
on gettext, so depending on the right one package pulls in both).
What I'm trying to ask, then, is why your run of ./autogen.sh didn't
pick up that 'gettext' was missing, and why installing the 'gettext'
package also installed the 'msgmerge' binary needed later on in the build.
