But that's fine since configure later goes on to detect iconv.h and also
reports the following:

checking for iconv_open in -lc... yes

So iconv is being detected without any problems.

Hmmm this is strange because $libdir should be set to the output of
"/usr/bin/pg_config --libdir" since liblwgeom.so.1.1 needs to be in the
PostgreSQL lib directory, not the system lib directory.

(looks closer)... can you try running configure without the --prefix
option? I think this is what is causing liblwgeom.so.1.1 to be installed
in the wrong location, e.g. just:

./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/bin/pg_config
--with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config --with-proj=/usr


Kind regards,
