Please check config.log for more information. This might be
totally unrelated to iconv.

The native iconv support on Solaris is in libc. I saw the configure will check /usr/include/iconv.h and iconv in libc, c_r, pthread in PHP 4.1.2, but doesn't
find the same code in the configure of 4.2.0.

It seems there is no libiconv.a on Solaris 8.

This check was changed so that it's possible to link
with external library even if the iconv functions are
found in libc. Using --with-iconv (without any path)
should work fine.

The configure works fine with --with-iconv only, however, the binary I made (cgi mode) will complain about "Fatal
error: Call to undefined function: iconv()...."

the phpinfo() doesn't show any information about iconv.

What does 'php -m' output? No iconv extension?
Does any other iconv function work?

I've used native iconv with PHP 4.1.2 on Solaris 8 for monthes without any problem. (--with-iconv=/usr)

Also, the perl iconv module works fine on my solaris 8 too.

There indeed was a bug in this. Fixed now for PHP 4.2.1.
(4.3.0-dev didn't have this bug)
