More help with FreeBSD

[Carl Krauthauser <carl UDel Edu>]

Dear Garnome Users,

Thanks again to Matt for my earlier troubles with installing GARNOME
0.28.3.  Now I am having an apparent problem with one of the libraries.
Towards the end of my build, I get the following message:

Now, I am unsure of what exactly is on my libiconv.a, but I am reasonably
certain there is an "iconv_open" in it, in that there is some
documentation for it, specifically:

/usr/local/share/doc/libiconv/iconv_open.3.html

Has anyone had a similar problem, and know where the error might be?
Thanks for all your help, everyone!
