What does "Ubuntu 16.04" have to do with a Scientific Linux enrironment? "Scientific Linux" is a particular rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, supported by CERN. I'm afraid you should ask in Ubuntu mailing lists. Ubuntu has a very particular packaging and referencing technique for installing libraries. libintl is part of the "gettext" packages in Scientific Linux, I assume that for Ubuntu you'd want to instlal the related libraries and development toolkit to be able to compile it into a new application.
