You've solved the problem another way, but libc 40.3 is the version
distributed with OpenBSD 4.1, RELEASE or STABLE. I bet you're
running something else. Could that something else be "-current"?
I don't know which libc version they're at. Now I see you are
running current. Apparently the libiconv version you got refuses
to run with anything but 40.3. That can be caused by (a) it really
needs that version and no other (b) the package is misconfigured.
Often packages require version xx.yy of some library or other package
"or later". It's pretty hard to specify a program to run with
only a single release of a library unless you can predict the
future, and know that the library in future won't be backwards
compatible. Sometimes, you actually can know that.
This is here mostly for the archives -- compatibility issues
like this are fairly common.
