just realised that glade is the answer to my prayers, and it works fien on all box's except mine.

when i generate the code, and run the autogen.sh script it always bombs out saying there's no ./intl/po2tbl.sed.in and won't compile properly. this file does exist on other machines, but no matter how many times i nuke the old files and rebuild the code, the file doesn't exist on my m81 box. the file looks pretty standard, and it's just a sed config file, so i'm guessing i could just copy it from somewhere else, i just wondered if anyone knew about this? a bug in my glade version? is there anything else likely to be the culprit?

later:

ahh wonky rpm versions, upgraded everythin gproperly and it's fine. such a handy program, makes a perfectly distributable app in seconds.. makes makefiels everything... lovely.
