I think glibc >= 2.1.3 should work, while glibc-2.1.2 has a bug which is detected by mutt's configure, so you shouldn't have any subtle problems when using glibc. The remark about "very modern libc" is more aimed at users of other C libraries. The problem you describe is more likely caused by a bad locale or charset setting. Still, installing libiconv shouldn't hurt. Do you really need --with-iconv=/usr/local? Most systems don't need to be told specially to look in /usr/local. The problem with ICONV_CONST might be solved by Lars Hecking's noiconv patch. Edmund
