automake error with glade--

I am getting the following error on running autogen.sh after building
with 'glade-- myproject':

Makefile.am:6: AM_GNU_GETTEXT used but `intl' not in SUBDIRS
**Error**: automake failed.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have tried changing the AM_GNU_GETTEXT variable as instructed:
"Please use AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) in order to cause
autoconfiguration to look for an external libintl."

automake completes then, but running make does not compile the code.   
Here is the output of make in this case:

make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dan1/Projects/GnuMu/gnumu.glade'
