I do. Perhaps you know that msgfmt is in the gettext-devel package, but I have
not memorised the listings of where every single file in a package is. I doubt
anyone else has either. Just adding the line - check your gettext-devel version
would have made things much easier for me. I would not have wasted your time
and mine in these emails.

OK. Why does the script not work on Mandrake anyway?

Ah. Offtopic, but the combat sound of ancient units does not make any sense.
The sound of gunfire when pikemen battles catapault just doesn't feel right.
Not enough sounds?

X windows:
        The ultimate bottleneck.
        Flawed beyond belief.
        The only thing you have to fear.
        Somewhere between chaos and insanity.
        On autopilot to oblivion.
        The joke that kills.
        A disgrace you can be proud of.
        A mistake carried out to perfection.
        Belongs more to the problem set than the solution set.
        To err is X windows.
        Ignorance is our most important resource.
        Complex nonsolutions to simple nonproblems.
        Built to fall apart.
        Nullifying centuries of progress.
        Falling to new depths of inefficiency.
        The last thing you need.
        The defacto substandard.

Elevating brain damage to an art form.
        X windows.
