Is this program missing from my Mdk 9.0 install? Neither of my Mdk
machines can install it. When I search using Mdk Control Centre's software
install, there is sweet eff-ay in the search results.

It seems from my research that it a crucial program in the Linux world.
When I try and install gkrellm 2, this is what happens...

[root@chicken-mandrake gkrellm-2.1.0]# make (cd po && make all) make[1]:
Entering directory `/home/antho/downloads/gkrellm-2.1.0/po' msgfmt -f -v
-o de.mo de.po
make[1]: msgfmt: Command not found
make[1]: *** [de.mo] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/antho/downloads/gkrellm-2.1.0/po' make:
*** [all] Error 2
[root@chicken-mandrake gkrellm-2.1.0]#

where can I find the missing program? Where should it be installed to once
i download it? or does Mdk 9.0 use something else instead of msgfmt which
hasnt been cofigured?

As always, your advice is much appreciated
