Dig into base/GHC/IO/Encoding/Iconv.hs mkTextEncoding function where it calls iconv_open, see what it's being called with. In particular check if HAVE_LANGINFO_H is getting defined. If it's not then the code assumes GNU iconv. > PS: for reference, please have a look at > http://darcs.haskell.org/buildbot/all/builders/kgardas%20head See also the http://darcs.haskell.org/buildbot/head/builders/sparky%20head Which is running Solaris 10 on sparc and seems to be working fine.
