[postgis-users] libiconv problem

[Jeff Stubbs]

Hi,

I'm working within the MacPorts system on OS X. The portfile for  
postgis is currently at version 1.2.1, and I'm trying to update it to  
the latest (1.3.1). PostGIS builds and installs but is linking to the  
libiconv library in /usr/lib, instead of the libiconv port in /opt/ 
local/lib. The MacPorts system tries to be self contained with it's  
dependencies, so I have been trying to tweak the install to rely on  
the MP install of libiconv. PostGIS recognizes that proj, geos, and  
postgresql are installed in the /opt/local directories.

I saw a thread from December-2005 that another user was having a  
similar problem with a Debian system, and I've been cautiously trying  
the suggestions to workaround the issues, but with no luck. I'm a  
relative nu-bee with modifying makefiles, so, no doubt, I'm missing  
something blindingly obvious. Can a more experienced user or  
developer, throw some light on the issue for me?

Thanks for your time,

Jeff
