Description imz 2002-02-06 17:13:11 MSK 
The backslash in the filename specification in /etc/emacs/site-start.d/gettext.el must be escaped (\"\\\\.po$\"), otherwise the regex \".po$\" matches many other files.


---
Open a file called \"apo\" in Emacs.
---
The error is caused by the build procedure that uses 

cat <<EOF 

which substitutes escaped characters.

Better use a separate SOURCE as in RedHat\'s gettext. Their po-mode init-script for Emacs is more powerful than the one present in ALT\'s pkg -- we should take it.


By the way, I discovered that a newer version of gettext has been released recently: <a href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.11.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.11.tar.gz</a>
