Prof Ripely,
Thanks. SUN gnu-iconv package should overwrite the sun version and so
it does. Apparently, it does not work.
As I said, you also need to pick up the correct header.
I built this library from gnu source with gcc and now it configures
and builds but fails on make check for regressions.
This topic is touched in the manual with some 'blas' and 'lapack'
libraries. Not sure if these are related though. I am not sure either
where and what to get for this. Apologize as this is all new to me.
You need to look at the end of tests/reg-tests-1.R to see the error.
BTW< according to the posting guide this topic was for the R-devel
list.
Here is the extract from make check logs..

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

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. "
