Hi Daniel,

That was the trick! Thank you!

But isn't there then a problem running mapserver below 4.4 and
mapserver 4.4 on the same system? I removed libiconv-1.9.2, did not
supply "--with-libiconv=/user/local" and had the following on
./configure(ing) mapserver.

4.0.2/4.2.5


checking for libiconv_open in -liconv... no
         libiconv library cannot be found, possibly needed for GD


4.4-beta

checking for iconv_open in -liconv... no
checking for iconv_open in -lc... yes
         using libiconv from system libs.
         libiconv found. Enabling internationalization (-DUSE_ICONV)


Actually it is possible to compile mapserver 4.2.x and 4.0.x without
libiconv, but I don't know if then any functionality is missing.
