Uwe,
Sorry I missed it. I do have gnu iconv..
SUNWgnu-libiconv
ls -lra /usr/lib/*iconv* | more
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jan 23 21:23 /usr/lib/libiconv.so -> li
bgnuiconv.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 23 21:23 /usr/lib/libgnuiconv.so ->
../gnu/lib/libiconv.so
And hence the confusion..
Did you tell R to use that one? You need the correct header files set
as well as the library, or you will get the system iconv. (The header
file remaps the entry point names.)
Perhaps you need to study the R-admin manual carefully, which
describes how to get the correct iconv.

Hi!
Trying to build R-2.8.1. while configuring, it throws error
./configure
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" and "UCS-*"... no
checking for iconvlist... no
configure: error: --with-iconv=yes (default) and a suitable iconv is
not available
I am confused.. sorry new to this..
I can see the iconv binary, headers and libs all in the standard
directory. Please help or redirect!
Please read the documentation, the R Installation and Administration manuals
tells you:
"You will need GNU libiconv: the Solaris version of iconv is not
sufficiently powerful. "
