#48451 [Com]: Compile fails "configure: error: Please reinstall the iconv library"

ID: 48451 Comment by: ville dot solarius at gmail dot com Reported By: jordon at envygeeks dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Ubuntu Intrepid PHP Version: 6CVS-2009-06-02 (snap) New Comment: I was able to compile this with the configure line: LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/ -liconv" ./configure Yeah, I know, it is a little bit ugly way to round it, but hey, it works :) Because the problem seems to be, that in certain conditions (sorry, I don't know what those are, but I am having that ;)) it seems that "configure" is not putting "-liconv" to the test compilation line. Hence, it was possible to override with line we can see above. But well, my system is 64bit (amd), OpenBSD 4.5 with GNU iconv 1.13.1 and php 5.3.0. It is compiling now, but not finished yet, so I can't really be sure is that working. But the configure is now running fine.
