Dear Ethereal Users

 

I am trying to install Ethereal on FreeBSD 4.8. First I am trying to install all the dependencies. I installed libiconv-1.9.1. and then tried to install glib-2.2.3. But when I did  ./configure for glib-2.2.3 I got an error saying “No iconv() found in C Library or Libiconv”. Can anyone help me in this ?

 

Here is the more elaborate picture of my installation scenario

 

Libiconv-.1.9.1

-------------------------

 

1) download libiconv-1.9.1.tar.gz from the ftp in the /root directory

2) tar xvfz libiconv-1.9.1.tar.gz

3)cd libiconv-1.9.1

4) ./configure --prefix=usr/local

5)make

6) make install

 

Install libiconv is no problem for me

 

Glib-2.2.3

------------

1)       download glib-2.2.3 from ftp into /root

2)       ./configure

Error: No iconv() found in C library or Libiconv .

 

Any idea why such an error happens

 

Best Regards

Dev
