Ack. Raimar actually wrote that. The way you've cut and paste it, it looks
like I'm responsible for it.

I know. You're right on the fact that the error message is dumb. I'm just
saying, as a workaround install that gnu version of gettext(How are you
compiling Freeciv with BSD make?). That will get those snapshots etc working.

In fact, I demand to know how Freeciv compiles on your other boxes. I always
assumed you needed the Gnu toolchain to compile Freeciv(well, gmake and gettext
at least).
