[be] Installing BIbledit-Web

[Tim Beckedorf]

Greetings Teus,

I'm sorry this has taken so long but I'm only able to download considerably 
sized files when I'm in a major village. I just got the server running on my 
machine and tried to install Bibledit-Web. All went well until I entered the 
./configure command and then I received this error:

checking smarty path... /usr/share/php/smarty/libs
checking smarty-gettext... no
configure: error: Could not find the smarty-gettext plugin.

What could have gone wrong in the install portion of the package?

Tim
