Ok, redhat 7.3 gettext (gettext-0.11.1-2.i386.rpm) is broken: touch lyx.po && \ /usr/bin/xgettext --join-existing --default-domain=lyx --directory=.. \ --escape --add-comments --keyword=_ --keyword=N_ \ --keyword=qt_ --files-from=./POTFILES.in /usr/bin/xgettext: error while opening "lyx.po" for reading: No such file or directory It seems that the --join-existing option doesn't work very well. In my defense, I have to say that the message was hard to see, in the middle of gettext complains about non-ASCII characters. And lyx.pot was indeed regenerated, but the files from POTFILES.in weren't merged in. I've upgraded gettext (had to use redhat 8.0 gettext-0.11.4-3.src.rpm) and the problem has gone away. Thanks to all, Alfredo
