apr-util configuration fail due to iconv

[Ink_Blot2001@…]

Unable to build apr-util 1.3.7. All deps are up to date and I tried uninstalling the previous version and installing fresh after the first fail.

Do you have /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib ?

the configure is finding your iconv.h but not the dylib (and apr-util has a dependency on the libiconv port).

[Ink_Blot2001@…]

I'm starting to think this could be a libiconv 1.13_0 issue. I just tried building glib2 and got errors pertaining to libiconv as well.

Replying to dluke@…:

Yes, /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib is present.

[dluke@…]

I have libiconv 1.13 installed and apr-util builds fine for me.

Maybe try removing and re-installing libiconv?

sudo port -f uninstall libiconv && sudo port clean --all libiconv && sudo port install libiconv

[Ink_Blot2001@…]

OK, that worked. Thanks dluke.
