On Linux there usually is no separate libiconv as this is integrated into GNU libc. Most of the time this kind of error results when somehow there _is_ a separate installation of libiconv under /usr/local/lib or something. An #include <iconv.h> then finds the version under /usr/local/include/iconv.h which has rather different definitions, due to using all kind of macros. If this is Bills situation try uninstalling the separate iconv package or at least temporarily rename its iconv.h header. -- Marco Roeland - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
