[Tux4kids-tuxtype-dev] Problem compiling tuxtype.

[David Bruce]

Hi Haris,

If your distro has gettext 0.18 just install it with your package manager.
Otherwise, just build it from source in the default location (i.e. under
/usr/local) and it should work fine without having to pass any nonstandard
locations to the configure script.
