You have to have gettext, indeed, but you don't have to have the tools!
That's a big difference. gettext itself is a part of glibc2 and if
you compile GIMP for libc5 it'll be autotically linked into the
binaries, so if you don't want to compile GIMP you don't need gettext.

Just curious: which one? It's very hard to believe, sort of
braindamage...

Sorry if I told you something that ain't right. Would you please tell
me WHAT of the information I gave you has been wrong to give me a change
to correct my mind (maybe even other sosurces)?
