Compiling poptop 1.0.1 and 1.1.2, on my slackware 7 server, I get

checking for gettext in -lintl... (cached) yes
./configure: XTRALIBS_MGR: command not found
===============================================
Configuration chosen:
   PPPd IP allocation: No.
   PPPd:               Standard.
   LIBWRAP security:   No.
   Mode:               IP tunneling server (PAC).
===============================================

If I then proceed, gettext is an undefined symbol.

The fix is to edit .configure.

The line

XTRALIBS_MGR = "$XTRALIBS_MGR -lintl"

Should be 

XTRALIBS_MGR="$XTRALIBS_MGR -lintl"

(no space around the equals)

Then rerun ./configure and it's all cushty.
