What about older programs that use gnome 1.4? Is it not possible to write
gnome 1.4 programs in redhat 7.3 (without installing an old 
version of gettext)?

I need to work on an old gnome 1.4 program and got into the same problem
as Andy. Any good advise about this is appreciated.

I've been trying all combinations of different versions of automake,
autoconf, libtoolize, gettextize and xml-i18n-toolize (intltool). It was
fun for a while but not anymore :-)

I can of course fix it by changing the makefiles by hand, but it's nicer
if it would work with some standard method (/me like standards).
