Hi Randell, >From the libiconv site, there are two ways to install it, the library mode (the one that you did) and the other one is the libc plug/override mode.
By executing iconv -V gives you the glibc version installed on your CentOS. rpm -q -f /usr/bin/iconv glibc-common-2.5-49 >From the GNU page of libiconv, it specifically said that: After installing GNU libiconv for the first time, it is recommended to recompile and reinstall GNU gettext, so that it can take advantage of libiconv. Another info from the site: This works on GNU/Linux, Solaris and OSF/1 systems only. It is a way to get good iconv support without having glibc-2.1. It installs a library preloadable_libiconv.so. This library can be used with LD_PRELOAD, to override the iconv* functions present in the C library. - On GNU/Linux and Solaris: $ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/preloadable_libiconv.so - On OSF/1: $ export _RLD_LIST=/usr/local/lib/preloadable_libiconv.so:DEFAULT A program's source need not be modified, the program need not even be recompiled. Just set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, that's it! Instead of doing the whole process by hand and to make your life much easier, I would highly recommend to use other CentOS yum repo such as: epel rpmforge ius Hope this help.
