Actually, it seems like I'm missing Freeciv's .mo files in 
/usr/local/share/locale/... (only subversion mo's are in there)

A "make install" in my po/ dir produce the following output:

if test "freeciv" = "gettext"; then \
  /bin/sh `case "bootstrap/mkinstalldirs" in /*) echo "bootstrap/mkinstalldirs" 
;; *) echo "../bootstrap/mkinstalldirs" ;; esac` 
/Users/daniel/freeciv-bin/share/gettext/po; \
  /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./Makefile.in.in \
                  /Users/daniel/freeciv-bin/share/gettext/po/Makefile.in.in; \
else \
  : ; \
fi


Something to do with that 'config.h' file? The only such file I have in my 
freeciv source is in the amiga/ dir...
