Hey guys... Firstly, responding to Bill... I've been told that the three leading underscores is perfectly normal for Darwin/OSX. The code you provided compiled and executed with absolutely no comment or complaint; my apologies for not having tried it before. I've been skimming through various documents at <http://developer.apple.com/>, and although the track you're on is somewhere over my head - that is, I don't know enough about C or libraries to follow you entirely - my sense is that the problem is probably something different.
I've tried one new thing, with interesting results, the use of a "- flat_namespace" flag for the compiler (actually it gets passed to the linker, I suppose.) The problems that occurred with that are noted further down. First, though, I thought I might share a few snippets of things that stood out in the documents I read. I figured that if a 'NOTE' statement was emphasized in it's own text box, it probably signified behavior that was unique to Darwin/OSX, and that there was a chance that one or more of them might make the whole situation suddenly obvious to someone. ---------------------- > "Important: Mac OS X does not support the concept of weak linking > as it is found in systems like Linux.

Now, on to things that I've done myself. I just finished trying to compile without the direct library reference, and with the "- flat_namespace" flag (which seems obvious in retrospect). This gave 'dyld' (the OS X dynamic linker) access to many more libraries than it had previously been aware of, including "/usr/lib/libgcc_s. 1.dylib". I'll append the list of all these libraries to the bottom of this message, in case it might be helpful.

"/usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.4.0.dylib" was found without problem. As to why multiple copies are being referenced, I don't know.
