libpsiconv.so.5 not installing

[Jonathan]

I am trying to compile and install the CVS version of Abiword for Linux.

After doing make install in ~/abi, I get the following message:
planck@linux:~> abiword
/usr/local/bin/AbiWord_d: error while loading shared libraries: 
libpsiconv.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

to compile I use the following commands:
autogen.sh
LIBS="-liconv" configure
make
make install (as root)

I do indeed have the psiconv library here. What am I doing wrong? TIA
