Once upon a newsgroup, The Doctor claimed:

>>libiconv is compiled correctly yet any programme need iconv I get
>>/usr/lib/libintl.a(dcigettext.o)(.text+0x8b1): In function `_nl_find_msg':

What operating system are you using? At least FreeBSD doesn't have any
/usr/lib/libintl.a

Neither FreeBSD nor NetBSD have libiconv_open: they use iconv_open.

>>And I did compile from ports.

What program did you compile?

>>Seems to be a iconv/BSD issue.

I'm not convinced.

>>Anyone knows about this and a workaround?

You'll have to be more specific - a link to the complete configure/build
output of your program might be useful.


Ciao,

FreeBSD 7

/usr/local/lib/libiconv.a

This confuses me: the error message you quoted is not about
/usr/local/lib/libiconv.a but about /usr/lib/libintl.a, a file that
is not usually present on FreeBSD 7 machines.

If you do have a /usr/lib/libintl.a file on your system, please move
(or delete) it, and then try again.

Yeah, script works. Just do
$ cd /usr/ports/devel/gettext
$ script
$ make clean build
^D

and post (a link to) the resulting 'typescript' file - or mail it to me
if you prefer and I'll have a look.
