For what seems like forever now I¹ve been trying to replace my working 1.6 with 1.6.2 on FreeBSD 4.10, but I have a problem that I have tracked down to Libiconv that I could really do with some help with!
Makefile.PL works fine DEBUG=1 shows nothing out of the ordinary; checking for iconv() in -liconv... yes Found libiconv. Might be *BSD or Win32... Then make seems¹ to run ok but on closer inspection I found the following lines of interest; -DHAVE_BLANK -DHAVE_LIBXML2 axconfig.c axconfig.c: In function `axkit_fixup_charsets': axconfig.c:1149: warning: passing arg 2 of `libiconv' from incompatible pointer type Then make test gives the error below which I¹m assuming is related to the above make err; Can't load '/usr/local/software/AxKit-1.62/blib/arch/auto/AxKit/AxKit.so' for module AxKit: /usr/local/software/AxKit-1.62/blib/arch/auto/AxKit/AxKit.so: Undefined symbol "libiconv_close" at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-freebsd/DynaLoader.pm line 229. at /usr/local/software/AxKit-1.62/blib/lib/AxKit.pm line 32 I¹ve trued a zillion things but have recently been concentration on the possibility that the error is due FreeBSD having multiple copies of iconv.h (i.e. The wrong one is being included), so I masked all that existed and installed libiconv-1.9.1 by hand. Still no good, even tried INC="² even though the most recent copy of iconv.h is in the def location /usr/local/include/¹. I¹m all out of ideas now, aside from building a newer version of GCC but that¹s a whole new can of worms! Pretty sure FreeBSD is finding the wrong libiconv but aside from that I¹m at a loss what to do, any tips would be really appreciated! Marc.
