I downloaded 1.3.99, and following the instructions in INSTALL,
I also downloaded and installed libiconv, the latest version I
found on the ftp site: libiconv-1.7.0.1.tar.gz.  I now have
/usr/local/bin/iconv, and /usr/local/doc/libiconv/, and I moved
my old /usr/bin/iconv to /usr/bin/old-iconv.

But when I run configure on 1.3.99, I get the subject error.
Fwiw, a few lines above that, I got the following:

 checking version of bison... 1.25, bad

So, I really have two questions.

Am I simply out of luck with this "bad" bison, should I forget
about upgrading to 1.3.99?  Someday I'll upgrade my Linux installation,
but that's a bit more intrusive than just upgrading Mutt.  I'd like
to take advantage of the new threading architecture, but 1.2.5
certainly works in the meantime.  I was able to compile 1.2.5 ok.

If the bison thing isn't fatal, how do I tell configure to use that
new libiconv?  I don't see any switches in mutt's INSTALL, and
I don't know what I should do with libiconv except the usual
configure, make, make install.  All those steps proceeded without
error, afaik.

TIA,

Jim
