Installation of GetText on Solaris 2.8

Hi
I'm installing the gettext package (ie which updates the msgfmt compiler with the --strict option) for compiling po files, on a Solaris 2.8 machine. I am installing it using the command:
pkgadd -d gettext-0.10.37-sol8-sparc-local

with gettext-0.10.37-sol8-sparc-local being the installation file.

Whilst I am getting instructions that the installation was successful, e.g.

***********************************************
# pkgadd -d gettext-0.10.37-sol8-sparc-local

Processing package instance <SMCgtext> from </gettext-0.10.37-sol8-sparc-local>

gettext

Installing gettext as <SMCgtext>

Installation of <SMCgtext> was successful.
**************************************************

Contrary to the output, the new gettext (ie msgfmt --strict) does not appear to be installed.

Any ideas??
