Re: Fwd: iconv and configure

Hi Ben,

it's easy to update configure but as far as I see it's not a standart
location for iconv. I assume you installed it from sources and autoconf
don't know /usr/local as location (that work on linux out of the box). You
need to find why /usr/local is not in standart seek path by autoconf. Due
to the fact that we use standart macros from autoconf it should work.

As workaround you can always use:
./configure --with-cflags="-L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include" ...
