libiconv and gettext

[Warren L Dodge]

I am having a number of strange things happen here.

The latest is when configuring gnuplot I fail the -lnsl and -lsocket
checks. Then when building gnuplit I get fatal errors in linking

This happens on my solaris 2.5.1 system but not on the solaris 8
system. 

As I check, seems that the configure test ends up using -lintl
somehow. In my setup libintl uses libiconv_open and one other
routine. The problem is the configure script does not find libiconv.

Is this known? Is there a document that describes how to build all
this stuff starting from scratch?

There are so many interactions in these things I  am not sure of the
order of building.


Anyway, I worked through this problem by setting the CFLAGS variable
to be -liconv

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
