+Native-Language Support and gettext()
+=====================================
+
+To provide native-language support (NLS) GTK+ uses the
+gettext() set of functions. These functions are found
+in the C library on many systems, such as the Solaris
+C library and the GNU C Library, version 2.
+
+If your C library does not provide the necessary functionality,
+you may wish to install the GNU gettext package. You'll
+need version 0.10.35 or better. Version 0.10.35 is
+available from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu
+
+Generally, GTK+ will properly detect what is installed
+on your system and enable or disable NLS as appropriate.
+However, in rare cases, it may be necessary to disable
+NLS manually to get GTK+ to compile. You can do this
+by specifying the --disable-nls flag when configuring
+GTK+.
 
-Using an uninstalled copy of GLIB
-=================================
+Using an uninstalled copy of GLIB [ Unsupported ]
+=================================================
 
 You can compile GTK+ against a copy of GLIB that you have not
 yet installed. To do this, give the --with-glib=DIR options
 to ./configure. For instance:
 
- ./configure --with-glib=../glib-1.1.4
+ ./configure --with-glib=../glib-1.2.5
 
 This, however, will not work if you built GLIB with different
 source and build directories.
 
+It is recommended that you install GLIB before compiling
+GTK+. The --with-glib option is not regularly tested
+and may not function correctly. In addition, 
+inter-library dependencies won't be generated when
+using --with-glib=.
