Greetings,

I used to use Eugene Mikhantiev geda package, but the last update didn't 
seem too happy on my Ubuntu 12.04, so I tried to build geda-gaf from the 
git repository, following instructions from 
http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gaf_building_git_version. The 
autogen.sh script got stuck because Ubuntu Precise gettext version is 
0.18.1: "Please upgrade to gettext-0.18.2 or newer".

-Is there an option for autogen.sh to stick with English and forget 
about internationalisation?
-If I build and install gettext-0.18.2 would that break my Ubuntu?
-I read in the install file of gettext-0.18.2 that one can 'enable 
relocatability', could this be a solution? How do I tell the OS it can 
use the 'other' version of gettext?

Regards,

Stephane Piret
