Ok thanks. Actually, I think the problem has something to do with libtool, though I can't say what. Basically, if I install libiconv via GSRC and then I uninstall it, some builds start failing because they can't find it. If I completely wipe my GSRC prefix and start over, the build works fine. libextractor is an example that comes to mind. I'm assuming that it has to do with files being installed directly into $(prefix) rather than being linked in, meaning that they aren't being uninstalled correctly. I haven't had a chance to figure it out exactly yet. Anyway, thanks again for the input!
