linux install gnome-dekstop error keyword “msgctxt”

bn.po:174: keyword "msgctxt" unknown
bn.po:174:8: parse error
/usr/bin/msgfmt: found 2 fatal errors
make[2]: *** [bn.gmo] Error 1

This error happen because Centos 5.3 have gettext version is too old. If we want  check gettext version in linux, we can use command :

msgfmt –version

and we get output from this command :

msgfmt (GNU gettext-tools) 0.14.6

To solve this problem, I will install gettext-0.17.0. To install this source, I use steps:

1. Download  gettext-0.17.0.tar.gz
2. Ekstract source, tar zxvf gettext-0.17.0.tar.gz
3. cd gettext-0.17.0
4. ./configure –prefix=/opt/gnome/
5. make
6. make install
7. copy gettext original (as backup). I use command : mv /usr/bin/msgfmt /usr/bin/msgfmtold
8. copy gettext new compiled. I use command : cp /opt/gnome/bin/msgfmt /usr/bin/
9. check new version of gettext. Use command : msgfmt –version

We must add library path from gettext to my system, so linux can detect new library from source compiled. Edit your ~/.bashrc and add following text  at bottom from this file:

export GNOME_INST=/opt/gnome
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$GNOME_INST/lib
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$GNOME_INST/lib/pkgconfig
export PATH=$PATH:$GNOME_INST/bin

After this step, you must restart or logoff your system and repeat to install gnome-desktop.
