So what did configure say around the part with:
  checking for gettext in libc... 
  checking for msgfmt... 
  checking for dcgettext... 
  checking for gmsgfmt... 
  checking for xgettext... 
?

Also try doing "rm config.cache" and then re-running configure.

(Another possibility is differences between "release" distributions
and doing development, regarding somewhat different Makefiles and 
assumptions/requirements about tools etc, though I don't really see 
how that could give this particular problem.)
