I'm having the same problem with gnome-core-1.0.53 and libglade-0.7.
My problem ( and maybe yours too ) is that when I compiled libgnomeui.so, 
*make* wasn't able to find a shared version of libintl ( source tarball of 
gettext-0.10.35 doesn't seem to build it so it wasn't there, but the fact 
was acknowledged in the compilation log ).

I came up with 2 possible ways to solve the problem:

1) Build that library ( libintl.so.* ) and recompile gnome-libs.
2) Modify gnome-core Makefiles to include -lintl every time an executable is 
linked to libgnomeui.so.*.
I don't know how common this problem is to decide whether configure should 
check for that condition or not ( maybe looking at the output of `nm 
libgnomeui.so.* | grep gettext' ) and include -lintl automatically.

just my 2p,

Diego
