Glib2 depends on Gettext which depends on glib 2

[venicequeen7706]

I'm trying to compile gettext 0.17 but it is dependent on glib2. the problem is that when i try to compile glib2 i get the error that says i must have gettext support in my c library or use the GNU gettext library. what should i do?

Not to sure about your dependency problem, but do you need to compile gettext yourself? It's included in the default ubuntu repositories, so you should be able to get it using synaptic.

thanks, i'm a bit embarrassed to admit that i have no idea about synaptic until you mentioned it. that worked
