Bug Description
I tried to install entertainer-0.5.1 from the tar ball on Ubuntu Lucid 10.4,
~/Downloads/
Traceback (most recent call last):

The program 'msgfmt' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install gettext
This is not mentioned in the docs/DEPENDENCIES file.
After installing gettext, the install finished without error.
Peter,
Thanks for your interest in Entertainer. Unfortunately, it is no longer being actively developed by anyone on the original team. I was, more or less, the last man standing, and there was just too much broken stuff to fix with my extremely limited free time. Judging by the amount of bug reports that you've submitted, I believe you understand how much is broken.
I would suggest investing time in some of the other FOSS media center options. Perhaps XBMC, Moovida, or Myth TV. I have no intention of picking Entertainer back up (in any serious fashion) so unless other folks step up to take over, the project will linger unmaintained.
Sorry,
Matt
