I would like to modify the sources and understand the pacman code. so
compiling the sources is a necessary.

I have installed the gettext package version 0.8.1.1-3ubuntu1 and it
compiles the files in the **pacman/lib/libalpm/po** directory.
Thank you for the info.

But the make file reports error in **pacman/src/util** directory.

$ make

Seems like MD5 related library has to be installed. I do not know which
one to install. I was expecting ./configure scritpt to report about these
required libraries.
