After installing GNU libiconv for the first time, it is recommended to recompile and reinstall GNU gettext, so that it can take advantage of libiconv. On systems other than GNU/Linux, the iconv program will be internationalized only if GNU gettext has been built and installed before GNU libiconv. This means that the first time GNU libiconv is installed, we have a circular dependency between the GNU libiconv and GNU gettext packages, which can be resolved by building and installing either   - first libiconv, then gettext, then libiconv again, or (on systems supporting shared libraries, excluding AIX)   - first gettext, then libiconv, then gettext again. Recall that before building a package for the second time, you need to erase the traces of the first build by running "make distclean". This library can be built and installed in two variants:   - The library mode. This works on all systems, and uses a library     `libiconv.so' and a header file `'. (Both are installed     through "make install".)     To use it, simply #include and use the functions.     To use it in an autoconfiguring package:     - If you don't use automake, append m4/iconv.m4 to your aclocal.m4       file.     - If you do use automake, add m4/iconv.m4 to your m4 macro repository.     - Add to the link command line of libraries and executables that use       the functions the placeholder @LIBICONV@ (or, if using libtool for       the link, @LTLIBICONV@). If you use automake, the right place for       these additions are the *_LDADD variables.     Note that 'iconv.m4' is also part of the GNU gettext package, which     installs it in /usr/local/share/aclocal/iconv.m4.   - The libc plug/override mode. This works on GNU/Linux, Solaris and OSF/1     systems only. It is a way to get good iconv support without having     glibc-2.1.     It installs a library `libiconv_plug.so'. This library can be used with     LD_PRELOAD, to override the iconv* functions present in the C library.     On GNU/Linux and Solaris:         $ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libiconv_plug.so     On OSF/1:         $ export _RLD_LIST=/usr/local/lib/libiconv_plug.so:DEFAULT     A program's source need not be modified, the program need not even be     recompiled. Just set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, that's it! Distribution:     ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.8.tar.gz Homepage:     http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ Bug reports to:     Bruno Haible i sent this email to someone and he suggested that i do the following cd /usr/ports/devel/gettext && make install after i typed the command in the install file started downloading a bunch of stuff from the net then it was compiling and it said that something was out of date and i should do the following, make deinstall and make reinstall i did that and i tried to install libiconv-1.9.1 and it says the following. configure: error:***No iconv<> implementation found in C library or libiconv what should i do now?? can someone please help.
