I think you have something stranger going on here. Firstly, one would
only want to include locale.h if ENABLE_NLS was defined. Secondly, all
of the i18n stuff in libgnome is included via gnome-i18nP.h. Following
the path of includes here, we can see that locale.h is included (using
'->' to mean 'includes'):

gnome-i18nP.h -> gnome-i18n.h -> bonobo-i18n.h -> libintl.h -> locale.h

So, I think we need more details. What platform are your trying to build
on (if Linux, what distribution)? Are you building from tarballs or CVS?
Look in libgnome/config.h. Do you have "#define ENABLE_NLS 1" (I cannot
think why this would not be defined, but let's be careful)?
