gettext odd behavior

[Ethy H. Brito]

Dear Sirs

I tried to use gettext shipped in Slackware 8.0 Linux machine and could
not make it work. I downloaded what I think is the latest version and had
the same result.

To summarize:

address@hidden:~/gettext-0.10.38# LANGUAGE=pt_BR gettext -d gtk+ -s
'(unknown)'
(unknown)

Oooppsss!

address@hidden:~/gettext-0.10.38# LANGUAGE=pt_BR ./tests/tstgettext -d gtk+ -s
'(unknown)'
(desconhecido)

This is what it should be. As you can see the gettext compiled under "tests"
directory work like a charm. Why not '/usr/bin/gettext' do the same?

Due to this I cannot make any applications that need getttext work.
(I am trying IMP webmail program).

Would you give me some help on this, please?

Best Regards
