Re: [Bug-indent] Configure problem

[david ingamells]

I've just received a reply back from the gettext maintainers, and they have 
fixed gettext.m4 in the release after the one I'm using, so it'll be resolved 
soon.

The regression test code at any location that Mike may have seen is outdated.

I'll send you a tarball of the latest.

David.
