Angus, if you are referring to this excerpt from the libiconv README: ... On systems other than GNU/Linux, the iconv program will be internationalized only if GNU gettext has been built and installed before GNU libiconv. This means that the first time GNU libiconv is installed, we have a circular dependency between the GNU libiconv and GNU gettext packages, which can be resolved by building and installing either - first libiconv, then gettext, then libiconv again, or (on systems supporting shared libraries, excluding AIX) - first gettext, then libiconv, then gettext again. ... my reading of it is that you need the three compilations only if you want an internationalized iconv program, i.e., if you want translated messages from iconv. I personally think that building libiconv with --disable-nls and then LyX with --with-included-gettext is sufficient. But I may be wrong ;-) -- Enrico
