Nice to hear that it works.

The GNU gettext library is used by RHIDE because it is linked
in RHIDE, that means you need _NOT_ to install that lib to use
it with RHIDE.

Your problem is to 99% the following: You have unzipped the
RHIDE binary archive with an unzipper (like winzip) which restores
the long filenames (or in our case the diretcory names) but
rhide.exe is a DJGPP programm which cannot handle the NT
long filename API.
To check this, look in the directory
%DJDIR%/share/locale/de
and see, what a directory there is (but do this from a DOS-box
to see the real 8+3 DOS name!!!). If yo see there something like
LC_MES~1 then I´m right and you have either manually to rename it
to LC_MESSA (the 8+3 name of LC_MESSAGES) or simply reunzip the
RHIDE package with an unzipper, which does not restore the long
filenames.
