I'm having a hard time trying to figure out this problem during configuration of php

configure: error: Unable to find required gettext library

here is the configure line:
./configure \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/httpd/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib/ \
--enable-versioning \
--enable-track-vars=yes \
--enable-url-includes \
--enable-sysvshm=yes \
--enable-sysvsem=yes \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-calendar \
--with-config-file-path=/etc \
--with-gd \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--with-png-dir=/usr \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr \
--enable-pic \
--with-gmp \
--with-ncurses \
--enable-shmop \
--enable-xml \
--enable-track-vars \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr \
--with-exif \
--with-ttf \
--with-gettext \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl

I'm using slackware which already setup gexttext and I also done the src.
Is it possible to have configure output a log file so I know where and what exactly it's trying to look for?
