Sounds like autotools isn't picking up your gettext installation. Since you built it manually, I suspect that could be the problem.. Did you install it to a non-standard location? The macros you are missing are defined in gettext.m4, which on my computer lives under /usr/share/aclocal (distribution installed gettext development packages). Looking at the autogen.sh script, it appears you can define the environemnt variable ACLOCAL_FLAGS, to pass any extra arguments you need to aclocal. To add extra search directories to the M4 files, try: export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /path/to/dir/with/gettext.m4" before you run make. (Note that -I takes a directory, not a filename).
