You can simply do: cp /usr/lib/gconv/* /your/chroot/path/usr/lib/gconv/ ... and re-try. This was a fix for me, hope this could save time for somebody else. P.S. Btw, initially iconv() called from command line (using php cli) was OK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-10 13:31:55] cancausecancerr at yahoo dot com dot cn I found my problem. It was 'utf8' vs. 'utf-8'. I peeked inside Zend Lucene Lucene's code and saw it was looking for 'utf8' or 'utf-8' so I thought I'd save a byte and take 'utf8' (shakes fist at Zend then at self:: for being cheap). I echo'd out what Zend Lucene was populating the iconv() with and that's where I saw my prob. As for the reason my english data wasn't raising this error, I indexed those tables with 'utf-8'. So it seems my error was the same as everyone elses (encoding type didn't exist on my systema) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-10 12:58:53] cancausecancerr at yahoo dot com dot cn I got the error while querying a lucene index I just created from a mysql utf8 table (populated with danish data). When I created the index I used 'utf8' while adding fields so everything should be fine. I don't get the error when I query my other tables which have english data and were created in exactly the same manner.
