Hi Scott, Did you try looking in the config.log file to see what the error is on iconv? Usualy this isn't a case of the lib missing but rather to the headers not being included in Haiku (in this case the iconv headers). If you have iconv compiled yourself you could use LDFLAGS also to point to the place you installed it, mostly this would be something like this: LDFLAGS=-L/boot/home/config/lib Greetz, Luc aka Begasus On za, 2008-05-03 at 00:09 +0200, Andreas Färber wrote: > Hi Scott, > > Am 02.05.2008 um 22:19 schrieb scott mc: > > > I've run into this a couple times now when trying to run ./configure > > on GNU stuff.
