This means that your "gcj" Java compiler is nonfunctional because it
cannot find the libgcj.jar file (usually installed in
$prefix/share/libgcj.jar). libgcj is part of GCC 3.0.4; maybe it was
not compiled or maybe it was misinstalled. Anyway since your gcj is
nonfunctional you can just remove it.

Thanks for the report; gettext-0.11.2 will check against such
malfunctioning gcj installations.
