Paulo,

I'm using 1.4.0.a1. Now I'm trying to compile the new
nagios-plugins-HEAD-200409010447, but I'm not getting success:

make[3]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/nagios/nagios-plugins-HEAD-200409010447/po'
/usr/bin/msgmerge --update fr.po nagios-plugins.pot
/usr/bin/msgmerge: error while opening "fr.po" for reading: No such file =
or
directory
make[2]: *** [fr.po] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/nagios/nagios-plugins-HEAD-200409010447/po'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/nagios/nagios-plugins-HEAD-200409010447'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I use rh 9. Could you help me with this?

Regards,

Wilson
