The official RPMs are built and installed on whatever my machine is running;
which happens to be RedHat 7.2 at this time. I don't have any more RH 7.1
machines to build on -- and my apologies for missing a dependency that sticks
the build. I try to keep up with it, but sometimes things get by me.

You turned them off in the rpm line above. Edit the spec file to change the
gettext dependency. This will be changed in the next RPMset.
