"gettext" is not the same as "xgettext". The different spelling is a clue. :-) "gettext" is a program for actually performing string translations, given a message catalog and a source string (msgid). It's of no interest in this case. "xgettext" is a program for extracting strings from the source files and is what we use to construct the message catalogs (the PO files). So you need to have xgettext installed to run make-messages.py. Maybe your distro of choice has split the two programs into different packages. Or maybe your gettext package installation is hosed somehow. In any case, that's the problem you need to fix: install xgettext.
