    Wow!  Why doesn't it use the gettext installed on system by 
    default?
it does unless you pass --with-included-gettext

    No I don't have, and don't know how to create one.  Is it only a 
    font problem? So harsh?
i donno if you have arabic fonts or not ?
sorry it wasn't .gtk2rc it is .gtkrc-2 i think is the name, it contains
your theme options like .gtkrc
    
ok may you try using the configure script that is there when you
checkedou katoob ?
i'll try to hack the configure.in  

it did compile before on mdk 8.1 and 8.2
what's your distro. ?
