According to
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.opendarwin.darwinports/19035
and
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/search?
q=_iconv_canonicalize&ticket=on
you need to uninstall libiconv -- you can use "sudo port -f uninstall
libiconv". If it says it's not installed, ok. Then, make sure that /
opt/local/lib contains no lingering remnants of libiconv. You can use
"ls -l /opt/local/lib/*iconv*"; if it lists anything, remove those
items. Then you should be able to install libiconv properly. If not,
let us know.
