http://pecl.php.net/package/intl I was totally unable understand how to install it.

I tried

$ cd extname
$ phpize
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

but on ./configure

It result a warning：

configure: WARNING: You will need re2c 0.13.4 or later if you want to regenerate

Sounds like you don't have icu installed.

Note, intl is not necessary for installing MediaWiki. The only part its needed in is for is if you change the category collation to uca-default (which is not the default one).

Also, newer php (5.3 and higher i think) generally comes with intl automatically installed.

Sorry what is [category collation to uca-default]?

Its a setting that changes the sort order of categories (See Manual:$wgCategoryCollation) Setting that to uca-default (which is not its default settings) It is the only feature of MediaWiki that requires the intl extension. (The unicode normalization code can use intl extension if installed, which is a little faster than the alternative, but by no means required)

OK GREAT!

Thank you for your answer!
