There was no output when I did what you said above.
That is what the capital Q is for. No output means everything went OK. I have added a couple of links to the wiki http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WorkingWithCVS pointing to reference information for CVS.

I do not even have a "/usr/bin/gmsgfmt" command. I did discover that I do have "/usr/bin/msgfmt" and that that comes from the gettext RPM. If this is a problem, let me know how to get "/usr/bin/gmsgfmt"
Thank you. It is the other way round. My /usr/bin/gmsgfmt is just a link to msgfmt . I will need to stop using the former.
Do you get an error that you can fix?
Like I said, I have no "/usr/bin/gmsgfmt", so I can't answer that question.
Correction: Try
$ /usr/bin/msgfmt -o pt_BR.gmo pt_BR.po
... [steve@...1062... ~]$ /usr/bin/msgfmt --version msgfmt (GNU gettext-tools) 0.14.1 Copyright (C) 1995-1998, 2000-2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

* One outside possibility is that gettext-tools 0.14.1 is too old, but on Mac OS X, msgfmt is at version 0.10.40 and that works, so I don't think so.
Maybe we need to check for versions and/or capabilities of gettext-tools.
I would suspect that myself, since I have "/usr/bin/msgfmt" installed but I don't have "/usr/bin/gmsgfmt" installed. Since I have the weekend off, I will try compiling gettext from the most recent source I can get a hold of. I will even check into various Fedora Core 3/Rawhide SRPMS. If I have any luck, I will get back to with the output of "/usr/bin/gmsgfmt -o pt_BR.gmo pt_BR.po"
Certainly, that is one good way of spending a wet weekend, but I have never had to work that closely with .po files. In the long run, we are looking to find something that works for people who have Fedora installed using standard methods.
Once we have have ascertained exactly what error message you get, and how to produce it at will , you can probably Google for the answer. In fact, you might be able to skip directly to that step.
