Yes, it's because xgettext is not installed, the problem is that the
variable for the gettext program is empty, and as it tries to execute
$GETTEXT -o ... it actually executes -o which fails.

It is possible to make a check for xgettext within the configure.ac
script.  Most devs just assume it is installed :)
