No. You will have to read your OS's documentation on how to make sure libiconv.so is in a location your dynamic linker will look for shared libraries. If you are on Linux, then probably $ man ld.so will tell you the appropriate information. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
