See INSTALL for help but configure doesn't fail as it used to. i just assumed that configure would whine if it couldn't find libiconv (it usually has) -- shouldn't a lack of libiconv be noticed in the configure process? i believe that GNU libiconv was installed from ports (and FreeBSD renames the lib and include files to make them start with a 'g' (ie giconv.h)). there's also i'm pretty sure i've just installed libiconv from source on some of my other FreeBSD machines - i can do that if it's easier. looking at the port, i'm pretty sure that it makes changes to deal with the weird naming of iconv: roland% grep giconv config.status s%@LIBICONV@%-lgiconv%g s%@INTLLIBS@%-lintl -lgiconv%g -- Will Yardley input: william < @ hq . newdream . net . >
