System: NetBSD karres.wep.tudelft.nl 1.6.1 NetBSD 1.6.1 (KARRES) #1: Sun Oct 12 05:00:57 CEST 2003 root@terrance.bytepark.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/KARRES i386

>Description:
	When trying to build php4-iconv, the configure stage fails to find libiconv, causing
	a terminal error before starting the build stage.

	Software versions:
		pkgsrc collection up to date until 2004/06/07 15:00 CET (+0200)
		php-iconv version 4.3.6nb2
		libiconv 1.9.1nb2

	Make clean; make install results in the following output:

	[...]
	checking for iconv support... yes, shared
	checking for iconv... no
	checking for libiconv... no
	configure: error: Please specify the install prefix of iconv with --with-iconv=<DIR>
	*** Error code 1

	Stop.
	make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/converters/php4-iconv
	*** Error code 1

	Stop.
	make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/converters/php4-iconv

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/pkgsrc/converters/php4-iconv
	make clean; make install
	
>Fix:
	Apparently, the configure lines need different info. The following diff works for
	me (i.e. allowing the software to compile and function afterwards).

	Undoubtedly there may be a cleaner or more elegant solution to this,
	but this seemed to do the trick for me. I hope it is of use.
