Answer 1

I knew this sounded familiar; I had the same problem back in May 2008, discussed here: http://old.nabble.com/ubuntu-7.10-pecl-install-intl-p17140873.html

Ed Batutis explained that "/usr" is the correct answer if you have icu-config at "/usr/bin/icu-config"; adjust accordingly if it is somewhere else.

However that didn't help for me. I described the solution for me here: http://darrendev.blogspot.com/2008/05/install-php-pecl-intl-module-for-ubuntu.html ...which was basically to define the PHP_SETUP_ICU macro. That was supposed to be added in 5.2.4, so as you are using php 5.3 your problem ought to be something else.
