I don't know about the OP's specific problem, but in order to build the binary distribution that I did, I had to compile and get GNU gettext installed to make it work.  You'll notice it's included with the MacOS binary on my site as an internal framework. 

I don't recall working hard to get the gettext to work, but it's been a couple of months since I've built the binary.  That's quite a while when I've got law school running around my brain.
