Jan,

The libintl is built from gettext, and the libintl-0.nn.nn package only 
contains runtime libraries.  The import libraries are in 
gettext-0.11.2-2.  When configure is checking for libintl, it wants the 
/lib/libintl(.dll)a import library.  Here is what you need:

1)gettext-0.11.2-2
2)gettext-devel-0.11.2-2
3)libiconv-1.8-2

Cheers,
Nicholas
