At least it differs from everything else I've seen so far (in terms of encoding names and functionality). > #else > REGISTER_STRING_CONSTANT("ICONV_IMPL", "unknown", CONST_CS | > CONST_PERSISTENT); > #endif > REGISTER_STRING_CONSTANT("ICONV_VERSION", version, CONST_CS | > CONST_PERSISTENT); > > It seems my system is being configured, but under #else - "unknown".

You should look into ext/iconv/config.m4 instead. ./configure is generated and it's not supposed to be read. Also I'd suggest you to try 5.3 branch, I can see that AIX iconv support exists only there. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal --- http://pinba.org - realtime statistics for PHP
