If you want translations, yes.  What do you get for  "gettext --version" ?

Oh I read it wrong.  It found libintl.h, but not libintl.8.so.  Find it, and run `ldd gettext` if you can to see if gettext is linked against libintl.so.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

thanks, did worry was missing some nice goody.

Yea mine is linked against libintl.

Do you have a /usr/lib/libintl.so  or in /usr/local/lib/libintl.so or some version of those?

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Only thing close to libintl found would be these:
/usr/include/libintl.h
/usr/share/gettext/intl/libintl.rc
/usr/lib/preloadable_libintl.so
/usr/share/gettext/intl/libintl.rc
synaptic could not find either, did install these:
libintl-perl
libintl-xs-perl
libintl-gettext-ruby
libintl-gettext-ruby1.8
no succes
in synaptic package manager checked installed files for gettext:

/.
/usr
/usr/bin
>8 >8

/usr/lib
>8 >8

/usr/lib/preloadable_libintl.so <-
>8 >8

I'm not the right person to debug shared libraries on ELF because I don't have a system handy to test on, but you may need to run ldconfig or just add that to your preload list in /etc/ld.so.preload or as

    $ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/preloadable_libintl.so
    $ export LD_PRELOAD

If that doesn't work, I'll gr0k the source code and walk through the detection steps with you.

Above did not work, I must have been sleeping However this did work by the looks of it:
$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/preloadable_libintl.so

thanks again. Now hoping building avidemux thinks case solved

[Jan Gruuthuse]

that procedure did fail to regarding avidemux building. After each reboot preloadable_libintl.so was not linked to gettext
copy /usr/lib/preloadable_libintl.so to /usr/lib/libintl.so did the trick

[nibbles]

Add preloadable_libintl.so to the standard system-wide persistent location listed in man 8 ld-linux
among other places,
