postgresql-7.3.4 - undefined reference to `libintl_gettext'

Being aware that this might be a lame question, I shall ask it
nevertheless... I just hope it's the correct list...

I've been trying to compile postgresql 7.3.4 on my machine (linux 2.2.25
(debian/potato)) and after satysfying postgresql's configure script by
compiling gettext-0.12.1, readline-4.3 and zlib-1.1.3 I'm now getting a
problem while doing 'make' ...

I'm launching configure with:

./configure --enable-recode --enable-nls --with-perl
--with-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/include

(i have gettext, readline and zlib installed in /usr/local/)

and it finishes without a flaw...

but then when make-ing i get this:

I'm not sure what to do about it... The problem may lay in not being able
to find my custom-built libraries... but I thought that should be fixed by
adding those --with-libraries and --with-includes...

Another thing that I suspect is that even though I did

ldconfig -v -n /usr/local/bin

(and it looked like it _did_ find my new libraries)

it still does not see them when i do 'ldconfig -p' ... i.e.:

ldconfig -p | grep /usr/local

produces nothing :(

Anyway - I'm not sure that this should cause a problem at compile
stage..

I'd appreciate some help ...

Thanks in advance,
blueshade.
