I'm trying to compile a project that has a dependancy on gettext 0.19.3. I currently have 0.19.2 installed.

I've tried:

  • sudo apt-get install gettext
  • sudo apt-get install autopoint
  • sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade gettext
  • sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade autopoint

None of those commands will cause gettext to update. The terminal always says

gettext is already the newest version
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 138 not upgraded.

How do I install 0.19.3 or 0.19.4?

Goto launchpad and choose the mirror which is close to you. Then just download autopoint and install it through dpkg.

Example:

wget http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gettext/autopoint_0.19.7-2ubuntu3_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i autopoint_0.19.7-2ubuntu3_all.deb
sudo apt-get install -f # resolve any missing dependencies

*first check your gettext version using 'gettext --version' *then extract it and using command lines execute those comands.

*Prepare Gettext for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/usr    \
            --disable-static \
            --docdir=/usr/share/doc/gettext-0.19.7

*Compile the package:

make

*Install the package:

make install
chmod -v 0755 /usr/lib/preloadable_libintl.so
