hi everyone,

i just bought a new mac book and am currently installing all required libraries for my project. i have the newest setup possible to date,

osx 10.7.3, xcode 4.3, macports 2.0.4

compiling libxml2 always worked flawlessly before, now, however, fails:

$sudo port install libxml2 ---> Computing dependencies for libxml2 Error: Dependency 'libiconv' not found. Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.ticke

the only port file i find here is: $port search libiconv php5-iconv @5.3.10 (php, textproc) a PHP interface to the libiconv character encoding conversion functions

i can not find libiconv on the machine. is it due to a broken ports file or the new setup of Xcode that libiconv could be missing? i assume if libiconv comes from osX/Xcode by default, it should be in the standard directories... ?

thank you in advance for your help!
