[dev] Horde installation issue - gettext

[Dilyan Palauzov]

    Hello Gokul,
    I suppose I am ever newer to this mailing list:)
    I guess you should put the files on some place, where the system 
searches for libraries, this means c:\windows\ssytem32 or alike. As far 
as I know php/ext is for tools, which integrate php with the external 
world, in our case with gettext. But you need a proper installation of 
gettext self. I can only suggest you to try usin gettext also out of php 
in order to see if it is installed correctly. E.g. you can try running 
gimp (http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html) or install 
some other programme from cygwin.
    all the best,
       dilyan
