I'm pretty sure that means you don't have gettext (specifically msgmerge 
or xgettext or something) installed at all.

Try configuring with ./configure --enable-nls and see if that changes 
anything.  And again I want to see the po/Makefile.  And probably also 
the complete output from configure.  configure really should be 
detecting this (or an error) properly.

Of course the solution is to just install gettext.
