Hello,

Sorry about that. I configured Guile with
./configure --prefix=/Users/noah/Desktop/guile
--with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/local
--with-libunistring-prefix=/opt/local --with-libgmp-prefix=/opt/local
--with-libintl-prefix=/opt/local --with-libreadline-prefix=/opt/local
--enable-guile-debug.
(My extra libiconv is in /opt/local)
The error message I got was
Undefined symbols:
"_iconv", referenced from:
_rpl_iconv in libgnu.a(iconv.o)
(maybe you meant: _mem_iconveh, _iconveh_close , _rpl_iconv_open

ICONV_FLAVOR is not defined. REPLACE_ICONV_UTF is defined as 1. Here
is what I found in config.log.
First, there is an expected failure of an iconv test, where configure
didn't use the iconv path I gave it. It then reran the test with the
correct iconv path and found that iconv worked.
The test that prints "checking for working iconv" also returned yes.
However, the test "checking whether iconv supports conversion between
UTF-8 and UTF-{16,32}{BE,LE}" failed, on the conversion from UTF-8 to
UTF-32LE. I can give the test program if you would like, but it's
quite long. config.log shows that the test was linked with the correct
libiconv, too.

I did not add the path to CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, but I did pass
--with-libiconv-prefix to configure, which I believe should have the
same effect.
Thank you very much for your help
