Hello,

I used redhat 7.3 and current cvs, iconv installed from sources using version 1.8 (no rpm previously installed).

It seems the wrong lib are detected:

    137     {
    138         static char buf[16];
    139         snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%d.%d",
    140             ((_libiconv_version >> 8) & 0x0f),
(_libiconv_version & 0x0f));    141         version = buf;
    142     }
    143 #elif HAVE_GLIBC_ICONV
    144     version = (char *)gnu_get_libc_version();
    145 #endif

Can you please try

  --with-iconv

without "=/usr" and without the "--with-iconv-dir=/usr"? Your Redhat 7.3 should have a glibc 2.2.x, which has iconv builtin, so there's AFAIK no point in installing an extra libiconv.

Michael's suggestion is really to the point.

Besides what configure params did you install libiconv with?

Hello,

Sorry for the answer delay, my home connection is down and/or too tired ;-)

Well, using only '--with-iconv' gave me the same error.

<Besides what configure params did you install libiconv with?>

./configure --prefix=/usr

I cannot remove it as far as I need it for php_dom too.

After a make clean, which I forgot to do before, using only '--with-iconv' I got the same error I got weeks ago during make:

Basically it's supposed to cause unexpected results that you install libiconv with --prefix=/usr, because libiconv would overwrite /usr/include/iconv.h that comes from glibc, which offers iconv functionality independently. It should be avoided when using linux.

Anyway, could you try following commands in the top of the PHP source directory and configure again?

$ rm -f include/*

If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Open". Thank you.

I validate the

  --with-iconv

instead of

  --width-iconv=/usr/lib

Other posts said that you had to try to switch between both instructions, 
depending on your configuration.

This trick saved my PHP 5.4 compilation.

Thanks ! :)
