What is libintl.h and where can I get it?

Question

Trying to do a make install of git from source, and it keep kicking up the error:

 make install
* new build flags or prefix
CC credential-store.o
In file include

In order to install the newest version of git on OSX Lion this is what I did:

*Note that if you do not have git already installed you can just download it from the site and unpack it in to ~/src/git

I also recommend doing a whereis git to see if you already have it installed so you know what to set your prefix to. Mine was /usr/bin/git so I set my prefix to just /usr

mkdir ~/src
git clone https://github.com/git/git.git
cd git
make configure
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

By doing it this way I did not have to download any extra libraries or do any hunting on forums for answers. Thanks to automake I know that git is setup for my system and will run without any hiccups.
