Thanks for you suggestions and for any future help. This is frustrating
because I have >compiled R, just not with a workable iconv, which prevents me from updating and adding >packages. I did some looking at iconv and tried 'iconv --list', but got an error saying the libgcc was the wrong elf class - elf class 32. So I changed the /opt/csw/lib to /opt/csw/lib/amd64 on my env var LD_LIBRARY. It ran! So, thought I, this is it - I've solved the problem. But no, even though 'iconv --list' ran I still got the same error message. I did notice though that the list returns values for LATIN1 and not latin1 that configure and the update.packages() both seem to want. Here is the results of 'iconv --list': 646 ANSI_X3.4-1968 ANSI_X3.4-1986 ASCII CP367 IBM367 ISO-IR-6 ISO646-US ISO_646.IRV:1991 US US-ASCII CSASCII UTF-8 ISO-10646-UCS-2 UCS-2 CSUNICODE UCS-2BE UNICODE-1-1 UNICODEBIG CSUNICODE11 UCS-2LE UNICODELITTLE ISO-10646-UCS-4 UCS-4 CSUCS4 UCS-4BE UCS-4LE UTF-16 UTF-16BE UTF-16LE UTF-32 UTF-32BE UTF-32LE UNICODE-1-1-UTF-7 UTF-7 CSUNICODE11UTF7 UCS-2-INTERNAL UCS-2-SWAPPED UCS-4-INTERNAL UCS-4-SWAPPED C99 JAVA CP819 IBM819 ISO-8859-1 ISO-IR-100 ISO8859-1 ISO_8859-1 ISO_8859-1:1987 L1 LATIN1 CSISOLATIN1 ISO-8859-2 ISO-IR-101 ISO8859-2 ISO_8859-2 ISO_8859-2:1987 L2 LATIN2 CSISOLATIN2 ISO-8859-3 ISO-IR-109 ISO8859-3 ISO_8859-3 ISO_8859-3:1988 L3 LATIN3 CSISOLATIN3 ISO-8859-4 ISO-IR-110 ISO8859-4 ISO_8859-4 ISO_8859-4:1988 L4 LATIN4 CSISOLATIN4 CYRILLIC ISO-8859-5 ISO-IR-144 ISO8859-5 ISO_8859-5 ISO_8859-5:1988 CSISOLATINCYRILLIC ARABIC ASMO-708 ECMA-114 ISO-8859-6 ISO-IR-127 ISO8859-6 ISO_8859-6 ISO_8859-6:1987 CSISOLATINARABIC ECMA-118 ELOT_928 GREEK GREEK8 ISO-8859-7 ISO-IR-126 ISO8859-7 ISO_8859-7 ISO_8859-7:1987 ISO_8859-7:2003 CSISOLATINGREEK HEBREW ISO-8859-8 ISO-IR-138 ISO8859-8 ISO_8859-8 ISO_8859-8:1988 CSISOLATINHEBREW ISO-8859-9 ISO-IR-148 ISO8859-9 ISO_8859-9 ISO_8859-9:1989 L5 LATIN5 CSISOLATIN5 ISO-8859-10 ISO-IR-157 ISO8859-10 ISO_8859-10 ISO_8859-10:1992 L6 LATIN6 CSISOLATIN6 ISO-8859-11 ISO8859-11 ISO_8859-11 ISO-8859-13 ISO-IR-179 ISO8859-13 ISO_8859-13 L7 LATIN7 ISO-8859-14 ISO-CELTIC ISO-IR-199 ISO8859-14 ISO_8859-14 ISO_8859-14:1998 L8 LATIN8 ISO-8859-15 ISO-IR-203 ISO8859-15 ISO_8859-15 ISO_8859-15:1998 LATIN-9 ISO-8859-16 ISO-IR-226 ISO8859-16 ISO_8859-16 ISO_8859-16:2001 L10 LATIN10 KOI8-R CSKOI8R KOI8-U KOI8-RU CP1250 MS-EE WINDOWS-1250 ANSI-1251 CP1251 MS-CYRL WINDOWS-1251 CP1252 MS-ANSI WINDOWS-1252 CP1253 MS-GREEK WINDOWS-1253 CP1254 MS-TURK WINDOWS-1254 CP1255 MS-HEBR WINDOWS-1255 CP1256 MS-ARAB WINDOWS-1256 CP1257 WINBALTRIM WINDOWS-1257 CP1258 WINDOWS-1258 850 CP850 IBM850 CSPC850MULTILINGUAL 862 CP862 IBM862 CSPC862LATINHEBREW 866 CP866 IBM866 CSIBM866 CP1131 MAC MACINTOSH MACROMAN CSMACINTOSH MACCENTRALEUROPE MACICELAND MACCROATIAN MACROMANIA MACCYRILLIC MACUKRAINE MACGREEK MACTURKISH MACHEBREW MACARABIC MACTHAI HP-ROMAN8 R8 ROMAN8 CSHPROMAN8 NEXTSTEP ARMSCII-8 GEORGIAN-ACADEMY GEORGIAN-PS KOI8-T CP154 CYRILLIC-ASIAN PT154 PTCP154 CSPTCP154 KZ-1048 RK1048 STRK1048-2002 CSKZ1048 MULELAO-1 CP1133 IBM-CP1133 ISO-IR-166 TIS-620 TIS620 TIS620-0 TIS620.2529-1 TIS620.2533 TIS620.2533-0 TIS620.2533-1 CP874 WINDOWS-874 VISCII VISCII1.1-1 CSVISCII TCVN TCVN-5712 TCVN5712-1 TCVN5712-1:1993 ISO-IR-14 ISO646-JP JIS_C6220-1969-RO JP CSISO14JISC6220RO JISX0201-1976 JIS_X0201 X0201 CSHALFWIDTHKATAKANA ISO-IR-87 JIS0208 JIS_C6226-1983 JIS_X0208 JIS_X0208-1983 JIS_X0208-1990 X0208 CSISO87JISX0208 ISO-IR-159 JIS_X0212 JIS_X0212-1990 JIS_X0212.1990-0 X0212 CSISO159JISX02121990 CN GB_1988-80 ISO-IR-57 ISO646-CN CSISO57GB1988 CHINESE GB_2312-80 ISO-IR-58 CSISO58GB231280 CN-GB-ISOIR165 ISO-IR-165 ISO-IR-149 KOREAN KSC_5601 KS_C_5601-1987 KS_C_5601-1989 CSKSC56011987 EUC-JP EUCJP EXTENDED_UNIX_CODE_PACKED_FORMAT_FOR_JAPANESE CSEUCPKDFMTJAPANESE MS_KANJI PCK SHIFT-JIS SHIFT_JIS SJIS CSSHIFTJIS CP932 ISO-2022-JP CSISO2022JP ISO-2022-JP-1 ISO-2022-JP-2 CSISO2022JP2 CN-GB EUC-CN EUCCN GB2312 CSGB2312 GBK CP936 MS936 WINDOWS-936 GB18030 ISO-2022-CN CSISO2022CN ISO-2022-CN-EXT HZ HZ-GB-2312 CNS11643 EUC-TW EUCTW CSEUCTW BIG-5 BIG-FIVE BIG5 BIGFIVE CN-BIG5 CSBIG5 CP950 BIG5-HKSCS:1999 BIG5-HKSCS:2001 BIG5-HKSCS:2004 BIG5-HKSCS BIG5-HKSCS:2008 BIG5HKSCS 5601 EUC-KR EUCKR CSEUCKR CP949 UHC CP1361 JOHAB KO_KR.JOHAP92 ISO-2022-KR CSISO2022KR Is there still something wrong with iconv?
Looks quite normal. But is that the iconv that R is connecting to? You had an error that it couldn't convert latin1 to ASCII and both are on that list....
I put the header in the <R home>/include. Was that right?
Probably not. I would expect something like /usr/local/include, and maybe a -I option to make sure it was found before the Solaris-supplied one. Does make install (for iconv) not do that for you? You may need to look into config.log and see exactly what is going wrong when configure fails the test about supported conversions.
