Looks like you do not have libiconv installed ?

Comment 2 Marcos H. Woehrmann 2009-06-29 09:20:32 UTC

I ran into this same issue the other day while building on Solaris 10 x86. We need to detect this 
during ./configure.

Comment 3 Alex Cherepanov 2009-06-29 16:46:46 UTC

We try to detect this during configue . I wrote the current test.
Apparently, it doesn't work as expected although on all platforms.

Comment 4 Ralph 2009-06-29 23:26:56 UTC

libiconv is correctly installed with package from sunfreeware.com.
I also compiled Imagemagick with that installation and all works fine.

System information: SUN Solaris 10 / Sparc / gcc 3.4.6

Comment 7 Alex Cherepanov 2009-07-18 21:10:44 UTC

The work-around for the case of GNU iconv.h and system libraries was ineffective
because of the typo. Rev 9871 corrects the typo. See bug 690123 for details.
