im trying to install a rather large module and it's failing on libiconv:

Try the following


  fink remove gettext-dev
  fink install libiconv

This should work.

There are some subtly broken interdependencies between gettext and libiconv that make that when gettext-dev is installed, you cannot compile libiconv, unless libiconv-dev is already installed.

I think the current version of gettext-dev must have a dependency on libiconv-dev, but this is impossible for other reasons.
