To be honest I'm not sure I have any header for gettext. As I said I installed the package from www.sunfreeware.com and I don't know if that installed the headers too.

I have added the -I/usr/local/include but it didn't make a difference.

I checked the compilation of those two files and they both have a warning

The line in info-cmd.c is

          SVN_ERR(svn_cmdline_printf(pool,
                                     Q_("Lock Comment (%i line):\n%s\n",
                                        "Lock Comment (%i lines):\n%s\n",
                                        comment_lines),
                                     comment_lines,
                                     info->lock->comment));

And the one in log-cmd.c is

      SVN_ERR(svn_cmdline_printf(pool,
                                 Q_(" | %d line", " | %d lines", lines),
                                 lines));

The macro Q_ is defined in subversion/svn/svn_private_config.h as

#define Q_(x1, x2, n) dngettext(PACKAGE_NAME, x1, x2, n)

So yes, the linker can't find dngettext I suppose.

I have tried and disabled NLS. This works, but what are the consequences? I will be using the SVN client only on this machine.
