my 1.6.1 probs

[S Woodside]

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.
