django-admin.py makemessages issue

[Phil]

Hi,

(django version 1.3.1, Python2.7)

(at the end of my settings file)

========================

# translation support

ugettext = lambda s: s

LANGUAGES = (

    ('en', ugettext('English')),

    ('es', ugettext('Spanish')),

    ('de', ugettext('German')),

)

LOCALE_PATHS = (

    '/home/phil/project/locale',

)

========================

I am implementing languages into my django website. It's working fine but when I run "django-admin.py makemessages" on the command line it gives the following error....

"Error: This script should be run from the Django SVN tree or your project or app tree. If you did indeed run it from the SVN checkout or your project or application, maybe you are just missing the conf/locale (in the django tree) or locale (for project and application) directory? It is not created automatically, you have to create it by hand if you want to enable i18n for your project or application."

So like it says, I create the "locale" folder manually then(it's in the root of my project directory) run makemessages again but I just get another error saying...

"Error: Type 'django-admin.py help makemessages' for usage information."

Any idea's where I could be going wrong?

Now I'm getting the following error...

Error: errors happened while running xgettext on __init__.py

/bin/sh: 1: xgettext: not found

It creates the right folders, but no .mo files.
