Problem: 
If you have the debian package libpng2 installed without the libpng2-dev libraries... and use --with-gettext, configure will die with:

Unable to find required gettext library

The real error is:

configure:16776: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   -L/usr/lib conftest.c -lc  -lpng -lz -lgd -lresolv -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl  -lresolv 1>&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpng
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

solution: remove libpng2 OR add libpng2-dev
solution^2: make configure smarter ;-)

What was the full configure line you used?

User feedback:
-----------
I'm sorry I don't have that information anymore... it didn't reference the png libraries though...
that was automagically detected
(incorrectly.)

I think this can now be closed as the GD extension
isn't enabled by default anymore.
