I have no familiarity with msgfmt, but the error says that your build
cannot find a library named gettext version 0.21. So, maybe you need to
install it? Or update it to at least 0.21? Or ensure the build process
is looking for it in the correct place? If you're running Ubuntu, it
looks like older Ubuntu have older versions of this library:

Hi, I can’t seem to build pspp-1.2.0 from source on a linux machine:
|$ ./configure --without-cairo $ make msgfmt: error while loading
shared libraries: libgettextsrc-0.21.so
<http://libgettextsrc-0.21.so>: cannot open shared object file: No

I googled around to find this askubuntu question
<https://askubuntu.com/questions/666559/how-to-fix-broken-msgfmt-installation>
but it didn’t help
Any help is very much appreciated, thanks !
