 This thread gives the details
http://lists.ntop.org/pipermail/ntop/2003-November/006828.html . But in a nut
shell without the -liconv many people have trouble building Ntop under
Solaris sparc due to this failure.

*              gd.h...yes
*              gdImageDestroy() in -lgd...no


So it seems possible that GD has a dependency on libiconv for this.

In Solaris libc has some of the features of this lib (iconv_open for sure) but
I am not an expert on this, I only figured out that if I passed the -liconv
flag to NTOP compile it worked for me.

The GNU site for this LIB is http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/

Thanks,
