building php witk libiconv

Hi,

I don't know what to do with libiconv to build php4.3.3.
My libiconv-1.9 is installed in /opt

if I invoke configure .... --with-iconv=/opt the script runs fine but I
get the following message at compile time:

gcc: /usr//lib/.libs/libiconv.so: No such file or directory
gcc: /opt//lib/.libs/libiconv.so: No such file or directory


What is strange is that /lib/.libs is a directory tree in the
libiconv-1.9 source directory.
So, I tried to invoke configure ....
--with-iconv=/home/a.bonnefoy/portage/libiconv-1.9.
But now configure complains asking me to reinstall libiconv.

What to do???

Thanks,
Alain.

What happens if you just use --with-iconv ?

I just installed libiconv-1.9.1 and made with
../configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

then rebuilt php with --with-iconv=/usr

and it built just fine

Some bits of iconv seem to need gettext, do you have that installed?
