Sounds like autotools isn't picking up your gettext installation. Since
you built it manually, I suspect that could be the problem.. Did you
install it to a non-standard location?

The macros you are missing are defined in gettext.m4, which on my
computer lives under /usr/share/aclocal (distribution installed gettext
development packages).

Looking at the autogen.sh script, it appears you can define the
environemnt variable ACLOCAL_FLAGS, to pass any extra arguments you need
to aclocal.

To add extra search directories to the M4 files, try:

export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /path/to/dir/with/gettext.m4"

before you run make. (Note that -I takes a directory, not a filename).
