Thank in advance for any help and even for not help at all but a help will be great :-)

I use here PHP4.2.0-dev release

I'am working with a Sun-Sparc-Solaris 8 platform. But the problem I describe here, I met it in a slight different way on Red Hat 7.2 platform with the PHP-4.2.0RC1.

I start with SOLARIS it's enough:

My configure command is :

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/php --with-gettext=shared --with-dom=/usr --with-iconv=/usr/local --enable-socket=shared --with-ttf --enable-inline-optimization --enable-magic-quotes --enable-trans-id --enable-bcmath --enable-memory-limit --enable-wddx --enable-sysvsem=shared --enable-sysvshm=shared --with-png-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local --with-tiff-dir=/usr/local -with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-gd=/usr/local --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-ftp --with-pdflib=/usr/local --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot --with-expat-dir=/usr/local --with-zlib=/usr --with-xml-rpc --enable-libgcc

The drama starts here with the make :

As indicated in ./configure Libiconv is installed in /usr/local, on the fault message It looks like the invocation of liconv is not present for gcc. But as you can see I have this invocation I/...... Some lines later /opt/xtra_targz/php4/ext/iconv/libiconv.la, which is the invocation of the ICONV extension not of the standalone ICONV... but 4'm afraid I think I must have also '-liconv' whic is not present 

I met this problem recurrently, I'm not an expert and maybe I'm wrong I think I have to add that in some Makefile, but where and how ?

If I remove from ./configure the "--with-iconv..." I've exactly the same error but for sablotron ?

If you have an idea it will be a great help .

Thanks
