gthumb version 2325 compile -- GETTEXT_PACKAGE problem

Hello all,

I'm trying to compile gthumb version 2325 fronm svn, and I have a
compilation error that is beyond my ability to get around, as follows.

gth-image-list.c: In function 'gth_image_list_init':
gth-image-list.c:3532: error: 'GETTEXT_PACKAGE' undeclared (first use 
in this function

I have a feeling this must be something simple and silly, but I have
hunted high and low on the web and searched mailing lists with no luck.

Can someone please tell me what is amiss? Why would autogen.sh not set
up GETTEXT_PACKAGE properly? It also does not set VERSION properly,
leading to another compilation error that I hacked past to get to this
point.

I have all sorts of gettext packages installed, and intltool as well.

COMMANDS:

svn checkout --revision 2325 http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gthumb/trunk
cd trunk
./autogem.sh --prefix=/usr
make
#hacked missing VERSION to get to the reported error

Autogen runs pretty cleanly, although it printed some of these,
may not be relevant:

gnome-doc-utils.make:74: if $(DOC_H_FILE: non-POSIX variable name
gnome-doc-utils.make:74: (probably a GNU make extension)
