Well i think I finally figured out why my buddy's having trouble installing 1.6.1 on his box ... turns out he's running debian 2.2 which has a known problem detecting iconv. The workaround apparently is either something very complex involving testing versions of libc6 or to hack the makefile to skip the test on iconv (since it just thinks it doesn't work, it actually does work apparently). Anyway now I'm going to lobby him to upgrade to 3.0 woody, hopefully that's a fairly painless thing to ask him to do.

Anyway, I guess that 1.6.1 doesn't really work on debian 2.2, is the upshot.
