btw, on a non fink contaminated machine running 10.4 i have autoconf
2.61 installed which can process the configure.ac fine.

first of all, this seems to be an ugly hack (i was meant to write "very
ugly" but after reading it again, it turned out to be better than i though).
anyhow, this is why we have configure for: to find out whether we have
e.g. msgfmt installed (which for instance i have not) and whether a
version compatible with the features we need is installed (which for
instance you have not).

however,...

these errors are (i think) unrelated to which version of msgfmt you have
installed.
in fact, it seems that make fails to properly expand it's build targets,
and thus never calling msgfmt.

some general hints:
- are you sure that you are at least at revision 12459 of the
branches/pd-gui-rewrite/0.43/ ?

- did you do any modifications to the Makefile(s)?

- does it work if you do this?
 % cd po
 % make en_ca.msg

- do you have a crooked version of make?
