I'm at wit's ends here and need some help. I've downloaded and compiled iconv versions 1.13 and 1.14 - libiconv.so.2.5.0 and libiconv.so.2.5.1 and copied the iconv all over, replacing the native iconv on my Solaris machine.
Still when I try to run the configure I get: checking iconv.h usability... yes checking iconv.h presence... yes checking for iconv.h... yes checking for iconv... yes checking whether iconv accepts "UTF-8", "latin1", "ASCII" and "UCS-*"... ac_fn_c_try_run 29941 no configure: error: a suitable iconv is essential If I cheat and rig the configure file so that it continues even with the error, I get a nice version of R that runs several of the demos, but should I try to update the packages I get: * installing *source* package 'foreign' ... ** package 'foreign' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Error in iconv(x, "latin1", "ASCII") : unsupported conversion from 'latin1' to 'ASCII' So, what is wrong with iconv 1.14? It should be latest and greatest. What other iconv should I have used? Where should I have put iconv? Thanks very much in advance and I promise to share the binaries with who ever wants them, roger -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/problems-with-iconv-tp4191177p4191177.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
