Description Steve Magoun 2005-03-22 14:41:19 UTC 
I discovered that evince requires a somewhat recent version of gettext. I had gettext 0.10.35 installed 
on my system; the evince build failed:

file=`echo bg | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
  && rm -f $file && /usr/bin/msgfmt -o $file bg.po
 ./bg.po:326: keyword "msgid_plural" unknown
 ./bg.po:325: missing `msgstr' section
 ./bg.po:326: parse error
[...]

msgid_plural was added in gettext 0.10.36; upgrading to the latest (gettext 0.14.1) fixed the problem. 
The configure script should check for gettext >=0.10.36.
