Hi all, I'm one of many people trying to install Midgard on Mac OS X.
I have GLib, expat and libiconv installed without a hitch (I think), but the Midgard-lib installer keeps returning this error: > configure: error: Support for iconv function was not found. > Install libiconv from http://freshmeat.net/projects/libiconv/ and try again! Any hints, anyone? The meaty details: I installed the GLib 1.2.10 package at http://macosx.forked.net (thanks Ken!) after failing to install GLib 1.2.8 at the command line (I was getting a "checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one" error). I installed expat 1.95.1 at the command line with no special flags. All seemed well. I have installed the libiconv 2.0.4 package from http://macosx.forked.net, doing this as root as the package installer recommends. I have also installed libiconv 1.7 at the command line as a regular admin user with no special flags. During the command line installation I got an "./configure: cd: no such file or directory: \M-F\M-^R/libiconv-1.7 \M-F</libiconv-1.7/libcharset [6161]" error. I have attempted to install midgard-lib 1.4.2 at the command line on numerous occasions, each time getting the "support for iconv function was not found" error above. Flags I have tried in various combinations include "--host=powerpc-apple-bsd", "--with-inconv", "--with-inconv=/usr/local/", "--with-inconv=/usr/local/bin", "--with-inconv=/usr/local/lib", "--prefix=/usr/local/midgard", "--with-sitegroups", "--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql" and "--with-expat". Most Mac users have only been using Unix for as long as we've been using Mac OS X (less than six months, even if we have many years of Mac experience), so any guidance the group can offer will be greatly appreciated. ########################################### Steven Noble, Content Consultant (0404 041 928) Metamedia Solutions (http://www.metamedia.com.au) PO Box K1300, Haymarket NSW 1240, Australia --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
