Requirements
I'm running on Mac OS X using a MacPorts install. According to this page, my vanilla version of PHP 5.3.5 from MacPorts should include the intl functions by default. As far as I can see from phpinfo(), the MacPorts version did not disable it. However, the functions aren't visible and don't work.
It seems to require an additional:
sudo port install php5-intl
After which everything bursts into life.
Installation
This extension may be installed using the bundled version as of PHP 5.3.0, or as a PECL extension as of PHP 5.2.0. In other words, there are two methods to install the intl extension.
Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » http://pecl.php.net/package/intl.
Alternatively, --enable-intl will enable the bundled version while compiling PHP.
If your ICU is installed to a non-standard directory then you might want to specify its location in LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so that dynamic linker can find it:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/icu/lib
Otherwise, if PHP and ICU are installed to their default locations, then the additional options to `configure' are not needed.

You need to install the library.
yum install libicu-devel
Will get it working with "pecl install intl"

On Fedora 18 "pecl install intl" wasn't working after "yum -y install icu" so I had to run "yum -y install php-intl" instead
