This would be my guess as well. If LD_LIBRARY_PATH is being relied upon though, a more stable solution would be to rebuild git with "-Wl,-rpath /path/containing/libiconv" in the LD_OPTIONS environment. That would remove the need for LD_LIBRARY_PATH at runtime. Any other libraries linked in non-standard locations should also have a similar option if the path to the library differs. HTH.
