Hello, Everyone I have two or three threads on this issue over the past few weeks, but to avoid confusion, I will start a new one and treat it like it is a new issue (which it is not. Inkscape from CVS had been impossible to compile (for me, anyway) on Fedora Core 3 for a few weeks)
When I attempt to run "make" (after successfully completing "./autogen.sh" and "./configure") "make" bails with the following error: 2030 Making all in po 2031 make[2]: Entering directory `/home/steve/CVS/Assorted-CVS-Modules/inkscape/po' 2032 file=./`echo cs | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \ 2033 && rm -f $file && /usr/bin/msgfmt -c -o $file cs.po 2034 file=./`echo es | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \ 2035 && rm -f $file && /usr/bin/msgfmt -c -o $file es.po 2036 file=./`echo fr | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \ 2037 && rm -f $file && /usr/bin/msgfmt -c -o $file fr.po 2038 file=./`echo it | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \ 2039 && rm -f $file && /usr/bin/msgfmt -c -o $file it.po 2040 file=./`echo ja | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \ 2041 && rm -f $file && /usr/bin/msgfmt -c -o $file ja.po 2042 ja.po:1889: message catalog has plural form translations... 2043 ja.po:12: ...but header entry lacks a "plural=EXPRESSION" attribute 2044 ja.po:1889: message catalog has plural form translations... 2045 ja.po:12: ...but header entry lacks a "nplurals=INTEGER" attribute 2046 Try using the following, valid for Japanese: 2047 "Plural-Forms: nplurals=1; plural=0;\n" 2048 make[2]: *** [ja.gmo] Error 1 2049 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/steve/CVS/Assorted-CVS-Modules/inkscape/po' 2050 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 2051 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/steve/CVS/Assorted-CVS-Modules/inkscape' 2052 make: *** [all] Error 2
I have seen "make" bail on various *.po files while compiling Inkscape from CVS over the last few weeks, but otherwise the errors are just about the same.
Some additional information since my last message on this subject: I have done a fresh reinstall of Fedora Core 3, every package chosen and fully updated. "make" still bails with the same error while compiling Inkscape from CVS.
This next information might be VERY important (it is either just annoying, or maybe Very telling:) a recent attempt at compiling one of the release candidates for Inkscape 0.43 was COMPLETELY SUCCESSFUL! Imagine my "distress": 1. Just get done with another failed build of Inkscape from CVS. 2. Download and then successfully compile a pre-release that had just come from that same code. 3. Turn right around and attempt to re-compile Inkscape from CVS, and "make" still bails with the same error.
For the purpose of tracking this issue, I have filed a bug report: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1343164&gr...
Also, if you would like to read all the information that I have sent to the list on this subject, here are links to the three threads that I have started on this issue: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=13650891 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=13690638 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=13704598
Special message to Ben Fowler: I have not forgotten the things you told me to try in your last email to the list on this problem. I will soon incorporate them into an addition to this new thread.
Have a Great Day, Steven P. Ulrick
