Personally, I make it a rule not to use Solaris anymore, but I've been
down the same road as you at some point. I had to play with the
following to make it work:
# If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
# need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that
iconv()
# and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
# something like this:
#
# HAVE_ICONV=yes
# CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
# EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv
So, looks like you need to point -L to where libiconv is installed.
Of course you chould just get a nice intel based box and run Fedora Core
2 on it and not have to worry about compiling anything ;)
But thats just me. Wasted too much of my life that I'll never get back
ever again, trying to get Solaris to compile stuff.
