Hi.

On XP, I run the following command: gem install gettext  
I choose 12 (because that’s the version we’re working with and I’m  
windows), so it’s supposed to install gettext1.0.5.  
The problem is, when I run “rake updatepo” in for my app, I get: “No  
such file or directory - msgmerge”  
And sure enough, there’s no such thing anywhere on my computer. Is  
there anything I need to download?
