Hi Stephen,

That's some bad news right there.  Moving it out of the way during
build is probably not a good idea.

Can you check the options in ./configure, and if none of those are
obvious, can you investigate how much work getting a localize gettext
to install is?  Or, better yet, maybe this is improved/fixed in python
2.7, and you could test that?

Thanks a bunch; if the solution is to upgrade to python2.7, that's
really not the worst thing ...
http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.7.html  Although it'll require a
breakin period before we could use any of the really new features.

Try as I might, installing what provides libintl, which is gettext, or temporarily renaming various libintl libs on my system didn't work. I noticed that my virgin system had no libintl on it at all. It turns out that disabling the inclusion of libintl during the Python build process appears to do the trick. I simply renamed my libintl.h file, but a more elegant solution would be to turn it off during the Python build process. Well, a more elegant solution would be to figure out why libintl on the mac doesn't appear to have all the right symbols. But that's not instant gratification.
