Hello,

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -liconv
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Hmm, what is name of packet on debian etch ???
apt-get don't list iconv-devel, but I have iconv
compilled from DA source ,iconv.h exists in:
/usr/include
/usr/local/include


:confused:
 
There seems to be a similar thread here: http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23565, though on CentOS instead of Debian.

I have no idea about Debian, but it might be something with 64bit as well?

Do you have iconv-devel installed?

Is there an iconv-devel package? We don't have it installed on any server and are able to rpmbuild Exim packages just fine (as for hostfast, this will not work on Debian).
 
Now is other errors looooooong list:

Hello,

I recently ran into the error
Code: 
perl.c:29:20: error: EXTERN.h: No such file or directory
perl.c:30:18: error: perl.h: No such file or directory
perl.c:31:18: error: XSUB.h: No such file or directory
The solution I found was to set the PERL_CCOPTS and PERL_LIBS option in the Makefile.
The values used can be generated with:
Code: 
perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts
perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
respectively.

and tag on $(CLFAGS) onto the end of the PERL_CCOPTS line.
For example, on Fedora 9, the resulting 2 lines was:
Code: 
PERL_CCOPTS= -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBUGGING -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/gdbm  -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE $(CFLAGS)
PERL_LIBS= -Wl,-E -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE  -L/usr/local/lib  -L/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE -lperl -lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lpthread -lc

I hope that helps anyone who runs into that error.. it took me a few hours to get through it.

Note that you need to have the perl modules:
ExtUtils/Embed.pm
which you can install using yum:
Code: 
yum install perl-ExtUtils-Embed perl-devel perl-libs
