iconv is a part of the (modern) glibc .. how did you compile your glibc, which use flags did you use ?
******make.conf*************** CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium2 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" USE="acl ftp samba -gtk -gtk2 -gnome -mpeg -xmms -avi -quicktime -xv" MAKEOPTS="-j2" LINGUAS="us es" ******************************************* This is my home server (firewall, router, Squid, Apache) Thanks!
also, can you post your config.log from the /var/tmp/portage/samba-3.0.7/work/....... directory ? (the place where portage does the actual compiling) ... it might contain the clue to your problem :)
the thing that's weird to me is /usr/local/lib apparently contains iconv. Did you manually install iconv at anytime? Do you have anything in /usr/local/lib? Did you install the masked libiconv package? What glibc version are you using?
I am having the exact same problem, and I am using glibc-2.3.4.200 50125-r1.
Please note that you *must not* install libiconv, neither from portage nor from the stated freshmeat project, as that it's just for non-GNU system. Anyway the problem seems to be: checking for test routines... configure: error: cant find test code. Aborting config which isn't directly related with libiconv.
Ricardo, closing this bug since you haven't responded. IF this bug still happens for you please post the config.log file as m. glauche asked in comment #6
