What distribution are you running?

On my redhat system, output of rpm -qif `locate libintl.h` gives:
-------
Name: glibc-devel                  Relocations: (not relocateable)

Description:
To develop programs which use the standard C libraries (which nearly all
programs do), the system needs to have these standard header files and
object files available for creating the executables.
--------

If you're running redhat, just make sure you've got this rpm installed.
Otherwise, I think it is available (libintl) as a tarball.

Here's the first few lines of my libintl.h:

/* libintl.h -- Message catalogs for internationalization.

   This file is part of the GNU C Library.  Its master source is NOT part

----- etc. 

Hope that helps in some way...
