gettext can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.mirror.nl/pub/mirror/gnu/gettext
- it's a very simple build.

Once you've built that, you'll need to rebuild PHP, first using the
configure option --with-gettext=<path to gettext>

Thanks Liam - the php package on the Cobalt server isn't one I built from
source. It came from one of the commercial Cobalt support places that offers
some free security-related upgrade packages to take over from where Sun
stopped.

You might be in trouble then, but you could always resort to building your
own PHP.

If you run the phpinfo() function against your current PHP engine, one of
the first items that it will output will show the command used to build
your version of PHP. You can at least use this as a basis for your own
rebuild.

Well that's easy enough to do, but it'll end up like perl in that even
though I've built and installed perl 5.8.7 in /usr/local, I can't replace
the default /usr/bin/perl because of dependencies that will make other parts
of the system fail to work properly. It's probably something that's
resolvable without too much drama, but so far I haven't found a document
detailing how to replace the vendor-supplied perl packages with a
locally-compiled up to date version.

Thanks Liam that's a good tip.
