Sorry about that.  Outlook decided to do an ALT+S on me and send it in mid sentance.  I'll finish
what I was typing below.

Hi all,

I am attempting to build samba3 beta2 for AD support, and I've run into a brick wall.
I am using Solaris 2.7 and 2.9, with gcc 2.95.2, with krb5-1.2.8 and (now) libiconv-1.9.1

Firstly, I am getting errors of the like:

Error loading module '/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so': ld.so.1: ./smbclient: fatal: 
/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/CP850.so: open failed: No such file or directory
Conversion from UTF8 to CP850 not supported

I found an obscure reference about compiling libiconv and using that, and sure enough, the configure 
script in samba references the same.  So I did, and have now got the following error:

example% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba3 --with-krb5=/usr/local/kerberos --with-
libiconv=/usr/local/iconv --with-ldap

(Both kerberos and libiconv compiled with no problems).

The configure script doesn't work very well.  I have also tested this on Linux and FreeBSD as they
have libiconv integrated into their system.  Solaris 9 does as well, but I'm unsure of the setup.
Anyways, samba3's configure script refuses to say that my /usr/local/iconv installation works.

On FreeBSD I first used the builtin libiconv package, and the test passed.  I then removed the
package, and 

used my compiled version, and the configure failed at the same point.

Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong?  Has anyone else had any luck?

Thankx,

Greg.
