I have received an error report on g95. <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13841>
It is related to MacPorts' libiconv. MacPorts' libiconv does not have symbols iconv_*. There are libiconv_* instead.
System's libiconv have both.
A quick google search tells me that it is a cause of build failure of a few other packages.
I do recall seeing this error reported before.
Could you tell me if 1) iconv_* are deprecated and I should rewrite them to libiconv_*, 2) system's libiconv should be used, or 3) I should wait an update of libiconv package?
I don't know the answer to any of those questions. Well, except for question 2, where I think the answer is "no" because of the reasons stated in the MacPorts FAQ (reasons for why MacPorts uses its own libraries and not the system libraries). I can ask the developers of iconv why those functions are not present.
