Exim build fails on AMD CentOS 4.6 64bit

[SupermanInNY]

Hi All,

Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 265
/usr/lib64 (exists)
2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Dec 19 15:19:57 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
CentOS 4.6 x86_64

I'm unable to figure what is wrong with the build and why it is keep failing:

I can't get Exim to run on the server.
Whenever I try to update it,. it fails on the following error:

....
awk '{ print ($1+1) }' cnumber.h > cnumber.temp
rm -f cnumber.h; mv cnumber.temp cnumber.h
gcc version.c
rm -f exim
gcc -o exim
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -liconv

I don't mind having exim version 4.68 or 4.66, just to get it working.
Any pointers?

RESOLVED!!!

You are a lifesaver .

I totally forgot to look at the 4.1_64 directory/

All my systems (over 40 servers) are Intel based i386 solutions, so didn't register for me to look elsewhere ))

Thanks again.
