| /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2
| /usr/local/include/giconv.h
| /usr/local/include/iconv.h
|
| which are all recently built.

gal uses standard GNU Autoconf, Automake and Libtool
like most other GNOME packages.

You can override the default installation path with:

- "./autogen.sh --prefix=/GNOME" for sources in CVS
- "./configure --prefix=/GNOME" for tar-ball source

If you are building gal from CVS with gcc, try:

        export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib"
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib"
        export LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/lib"
        ./autogen.sh --with-libiconv=/usr/local

On GNU/Linux, you could optionally add "/usr/local/lib" in
/etc/ld.so.conf

Hope this helps.
