intltool appears to rely on some of the binary tools from GNU gettext.
If you can't install those, try disabling intltool forcibly in
configure.ac.in, comment out line:

IT_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.35.0)

You'll also need to disable the I18N of the desktop integration files.
If you don't want mime icons, menu icons etc.. (works with non-ancient
Gnome, and KDE 3+), disable the "data" directory by removing it from the
list of SUBDIRS in the gschem Makefile.am

If you _WANT_ the desktop integration, cd into "data", and rename the
".in" files to remove the ".in" suffix. You'll need to edit them, and
remove the "_" prefix from translatable elements.

In the data dir's Makefile.am, remove the line(s):

@INTLTOOL_???????????_RULE@

And change the install file listing commands, such as:

desktop_in_files = geda-gschem.desktop.in
desktop_DATA = $(desktop_in_files:.desktop.in=.desktop)

To:
desktop_DATA = geda-gschem.desktop

libgeda also has xml_in_files and application_in_files, as well as
"desktop_in_files"


After these changes, run autogen.sh.
They will need to be done for gschem, gattrib and libgeda.
