Description:
------------
1. cd gd-2.0.33
2. ./configure --with-iconv-prefix=/path/to/iconv \
 --prefix=/path/to/gd \
 ...
3. make
4. make install
5. cd ../php-5.1.6
6. ./configure --with-gd=/path/to/gd \
  --with-iconv=/path/to/iconv \
  ...
# (fails on GD tests with compile errors: 
#   unresolved symbol libiconv_open ...)
# adding LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/iconv -liconv" to ./configure 
# solves this  problem, but adds another one: 
# HAVE_DLOPEN becomes undefined: #undef HAVE_DLOPEN.

I've solved this problem with removing "--with-iconv-prefix" from GD, but it broke my heart :)

Linux has libiconv bundled into glibc, no need for external libraries.

Thanx, I know. But sometimes even glibc becomes updated...

And I think it's very confusing behavior - to allow use "--with-iconv" (for PHP itself) and don't allow to used GD compiled with the same iconv...

Can you try with php6 (HEAD), we use gdlib-config and should solve this problem.

No. It's still here:

Is this paths set in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or in /etc/ld.so.conf file:
/usr/apache-2006-10-10/libiconv-1.9.2/lib/

??
 [2007-04-03 14:59 UTC] suhachov at gmail dot com 
Of course no! 
I specified it in ./configure option (--with-iconv). And it seems to me that it is ./configure business, to set neccessary envs and paths.
 [2007-04-16 20:05 UTC] sniper@php.net 
Yes, but if you want to link against shared libraries, the paths have to be defined somewhere. This is not some PHP thing, it's common for any *nix system. So put that path in there and run /sbin/ldconfig
and try the configure again.
