gettext problems

[Bruce Korb]

I am getting this error message:

> *** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch: using a Makefile.in.in from gettext 
> \
> version 0.19 but the autoconf macros are from gettext version 0.18

Googling yields:

> https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/gettextize-and-autopoint.html
> If you get an error message like *** error: gettext infrastructure mismatch:

and my "gettext" is the latest release and I synced gnulib immediately before
stumbling on this problem.

What's wrong?  Do I need to install an older version of gettext?

> $ gettext --version|head -n2
> gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.19.3
> Copyright (C) 1995-1997, 2000-2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
> $ autoconf --version|head -n2
> autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
> Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I think the gettext copyright date is out of date.  It was released Oct this 
year.

Thank you!
