Off course, but a compile that dies might very well indicate that the
configure script has failed to detect the system configuration
properly.

I'm not sure what you mean.  Do you mean that Freeciv doesn't compile
if you link with libm, or that Freeciv forgets to link with it when it
should?  I haven't looked at Erik's patch myself.

Here we have the culprit, I think.  As suspected, configure seems to
think that your xgettext program is ":".

Looking through the aclocal.m4 that comes with gettext, it appears
that this is actually intentional.  (The colon is the shell no-op.)
Maybe that .pot really should be in CVS, after all.  I can email you
mine, if you'd like.

Alternatively, just configure with --disable-nls or
--with-included-gettext, depending on whether you really want nls or
not.
