Hi Alex,
iconv was installed from the FreeBSD ports system, and /usr/local
tends to be where FreeBSD installs all its ports. Maybe I need to
update the autoconf port?
The work around you suggested was what I did in the end. I'll see if
I can find out where autoconf gets it paths from, but any hints on
where to look appreciated :-)
Regards
Ben

Hi Ben,
it's easy to update configure but as far as I see it's not a standart
location for iconv. I assume you installed it from sources and
autoconf
don't know /usr/local as location (that work on linux out of the
box). You
need to find why /usr/local is not in standart seek path by
autoconf. Due
to the fact that we use standart macros from autoconf it should work.
As workaround you can always use:
./configure --with-cflags="-L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include" ...

Can I assume nobody knows how to update the configure script then?
I managed to get it to compile by specifying some CFLAGS to configure
(i.e. -L/usr/local/lib and -I/usr/local/include) but I know thats not
really the answer.

Subject: iconv and configure
HI,
I needed to use an alt-charset today for an smsc connection but
found when I added the option that no conversion was being done on
inbound sms :-
2007-03-26 08:32:21 [44173] [6] ERROR: Failed to convert msgdata
from charset <ISO-8859-15> to <UTF-8>, will leave as is.
On investigation I see that, under FreeBSD (6.2), configure is not
picking up the existence of either iconv.h or libiconv. The are
both installed :-
$ ls /usr/local/include/iconv.*
/usr/local/include/iconv.h
$ ls /usr/local/lib/libiconv.*
/usr/local/lib/libiconv.a /usr/local/lib/libiconv.la /
usr/local/lib/libiconv.so /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3
I have to admin that the whole configure thing is a black art
mystery to me, so how please can somebody who practices in these
arts, tell me how do I update configure so that it will find and
use this library.
Regards
Ben
