Re: [fetchmail] intl.h problems

Hi, I'm having problems compiling fetchmail 3.1.0.  In particular, mkdep and 
the main Makefile target fail because they can't locate intl.h, which on my 
system resides in /usr/local/include/intl.h.
I have tried using --with-libintl-prefix=/usr/local as well as 
--with-libintlprefix
I tried to track down what was happening in configure, what effects this flag 
had, but the shell scripting is just too nasty; I'm a very experienced shell 
scripter but it's way too much effort to figure out.

Furthermore, @INTLDEPS@ is not being expanded by configure; it is unmodifed 
in the final Makefile.

GNU gettext is brittle, crappy code.  I suggest you turn internationalization
off when configuring.
