[Samba] libiconv problems

[Anthony Hess]

Hello all,

OK - Im kind of stumped on this one and google wasnt much help.  Its
probably something stupid and obvious, but I could use another pair of
eyeballs.

When compiling Samba 3.0.5 on Solaris 9 (using the Sun directory server
5.1 as the LDAP, but compiled against the OpenLDAP libraries in
/usr/local/lib) I got the following error during the make:

lib/iconv.c: In function `sys_iconv':
lib/iconv.c:131: warning: passing arg 2 of `libiconv' from incompatible
pointer type

And then when I try to run any of the samba commands after installation
(like net, testparm, smbstatus) I get a bunch of character conversion
errors followed by the output (and samba appears to be working - although
I havent gotten to the point where I add all of the Samba 3 user account
information in to LDAP so something odd might happen if I connected to
it).

Here are the errors:

init_iconv: Conversion from UTF-8 to UCS-2LE not supported
init_iconv: Attempting to replace with conversion from ASCII to UCS-2LE

(at the end of the email Ill put the whole output)

So the obvious culprit is some kind of libiconv problem.  The original was
installed as a package off of Sun freeware, but I later upgraded to a
version I compiled (listing of libiconv libraries included at the end).
Am I just doing something really wrong, or is this a bug of some type?

Also, if anyone has a step by step cookbook for doing an LDAP--Samba-PDC
on Solaris 9 it would probably save me some time (most documentation that
I see is for Samba and OpenLDAP on Linux - which works, but obviously I
dont have to think as much if its written for what I have :) ).

Thanks in advance for any help,
