Hi,

I was hoping to be to able to compile R-2.9.1 from the source as I've always done.

'./configure' always worked nice, but now it fails to find 'iconv', which is installed:

bcarvalh$ which iconv
/usr/bin/iconv

bcarvalh$ iconv --version
iconv (GNU libiconv 1.11)

Here's what I get with ./configure

checking iconv.h usability... yes
checking iconv.h presence... yes
checking for iconv.h... yes
checking for iconv... no
checking for iconvlist... no
configure: error: --with-iconv=yes (default) and a suitable iconv is not available


I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8... any ideas on what I may be missing? Or suggestions on what to report in order to try to find the source of the problem?


Chances are that you may have some broken 3rd party iconv - do you have any custom stuff in /usr/local, /sw or similar hiding places? The right thing to report is config.log since that contains the reason why the iconv tests failed ...

Cheers,
Simon
