Getting "libiconv_set_relocation_prefix" error under Windows

[Douglas Vechinski <douglas vechinski dynetics com>]

I encountered the current problem I'm having about a year ago and 
thought I had figured what was wrong but can't seem to remember how to 
fix it.  I am trying to compile the helloworld.c example in the GTK+ 
tutorial on Windows using the MSYS, MINGW environment and the Tor GTK+ 
Windows DLL's.  After compling and obtaining an executable, I try 
running it and get an error message stating that "The procedure entry 
point libiconv_set_relocation_prefix could not be located in the dynamic 
link library iconv.dll".  Now I also have a more complicated GTK+ 
application that I compile using a make file and it builds fine and when 
I run it it does not have this problem.  I tried using the name makefile 
but replacing my source with the helloworld.c example but still get the 
same problem.  I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out what the 
problem is.

Actually while typing this I continued to play around with this some 
more.  It turns out that if I copy the iconv.dll from the GTK+ directory 
into the same directory as the helloworld.exe and run it, it runs find.  
I also  Tcl/tk  installed from the ActiveTcl distribution.  They is also 
an iconv.dll located in the Tcl\bin directory which during installation 
adds it to my path.  My PATH variable also includes the GTK+\bin 
directory but occurs after the Tcl one.  While this might be a question 
for the Tcl list, why would the iconv.dll's be different.  (As I said I 
ran into this same problem over a year ago).  If I swap the order in my 
path will the Tcl environment not like using the GTK+ iconv.dll since it 
now would be in the path first.
