I'm trying to compile a project that has a dependancy on gettext 0.19.3. I currently have 0.19.2 installed.

I've tried:

  • sudo apt-get install gettext
  • sudo apt-get install autopoint
  • sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade gettext
  • sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade autopoint

None of those commands will cause gettext to update. The terminal always says

gettext is already the newest version
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 138 not upgraded.

How do I install 0.19.3 or 0.19.4?

Goto launchpad and choose the mirror which is close to you. Then just download autopoint and install it through dpkg.

Example:

wget http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gettext/autopoint_0.19.7-2ubuntu3_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i autopoint_0.19.7-2ubuntu3_all.deb
sudo apt-get install -f # resolve any missing dependencies

*first check your gettext version using 'gettext --version' *then extract it and using command lines execute those comands.

*Prepare Gettext for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/usr    \
            --disable-static \
            --docdir=/usr/share/doc/gettext-0.19.7

*Compile the package:

make

*Install the package:

make install
chmod -v 0755 /usr/lib/preloadable_libintl.so

    This answer concerns compiling gettext while the question was about installing via packages. Perhaps you should instruct readers to download the sources first and explain why you feel the package installation route is not an option
