Uwe,
Sorry I missed it. I do have gnu iconv..
SUNWgnu-libiconv

ls -lra /usr/lib/*iconv* | more
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          14 Jan 23 21:23 /usr/lib/libiconv.so -> li
bgnuiconv.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          22 Jan 23 21:23 /usr/lib/libgnuiconv.so ->
 ../gnu/lib/libiconv.so

And hence the confusion..


Hmmm, then I have no idea. Since I have not Solaris system available currently, I cannot test ...

Hi!

Trying to build R-2.8.1. while configuring, it throws error

./configure

checking iconv.h usability... yes
checking iconv.h presence... yes
checking for iconv.h... yes
checking for iconv... yes
checking whether iconv accepts "UTF-8", "latin1" and "UCS-*"... no
checking for iconvlist... no
configure: error: --with-iconv=yes (default) and a suitable iconv is
not available

I am confused.. sorry new to this..
I can see the iconv binary, headers and libs all in the standard
directory. Please help or redirect!

Please read the documentation, the R Installation and Administration manuals
tells you:

"You will need GNU libiconv: the Solaris version of iconv is not
sufficiently powerful. "
