Hello,
I'm on CentOS 5.5 64-bit and tried building Exim 4.69-2 from a source RPM, since Exim 4.71-1 won't install or build.
When I tried installing the built Exim 4.69-2RPM, it says:
error: Failed dependencies:
libiconv.so.2()(64bit) is needed by da_exim-4.69-2.x86_64
I'm not sure how to fix this honestly. My provider says I need to install the program associated with the above error, but I don't know what program that would be.
Exim 4.71-1, however, won't build from a source RPM at all on my CentOS 5.5 64 bit system.
 
Following the prior poster's instruction about installing RPMForge, I also did yum -y install libiconv, with the same result.
No package libiconv available. Nothing to do.
So what next? As I said, Exim 4.69-1 is installed, so I do not understand why 4.69-2 won't install.
 
have you googled for libiconv?
Feeling Lucky gets you here. Complete with installation instructions.

How then did Exim 4.69-1 get installed in the first place if libiconv is needed? It's a direct admin Exim RPM.
 
I don't understand this. Libiconv must be installed somehow.
The command: whereis libiconv
Produced: libiconv: /usr/local/lib/libiconv.la /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so
So why then the erorr
Failed dependencies:
libiconv.so.2()(64bit) is needed by da_exim-4.69-2.x86_64
If libiconv is indeed installed?
