I would guess that it is looking up in the RPM database for gettext, and as
it is not installed from an RPM, it is not registered there. Have you tried
building it from the .tar.gz file? (That kind of problems caused me to quit
using RPMs allthogether, and rather install from source, everything is just
a ./configure && make && make install away...)
