Re: signal handling different in 1.8.3 than 1.8.1?

[Gregory Marton]

Indeed, installing gettext 1.7 from source helped, though autoreconf still 
complains:

autoreconf: configure.in: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is used, but not AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION

I'll start dealing with the next message
   Makefile.am:25: require Automake 1.10, but have 1.9

A similar message for gettext would have been less confusing, and very 
welcome.

Thanks,
Grem
