I'm a little confused by the relationship between libiconv and gettext. From the portfile and the configure script of gettext, it does depend on libiconv; but libiconv seems to depend on gettext too. So what is the correct building sequence? libiconv first, or gettext first? What's the difference between these two sequences?

My libiconv version is 1.11_4+darwin_8.
When I run iconv, I got the following error:
*** cookie:~ lx$ iconv dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libintl.3.dylib Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/iconv Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap ***
external dependency problem.
Your libiconv built against a gettext that you had installed into / usr/local (which is a default compiler search path) and when you removed or changed the gettext in /usr/local, it broke your macports installed libiconv.
The libiconv port should probably be modified (if possible) to make sure it only builds against the macports-provided gettext.
I'm not sure how to modify the libiconv port to do that, but if anybody else does, I'd be happy to accept a patch.
I would expect that other ports have problems with items installed in /usr/locall, so I recommend you do not install anything in /usr/ local. Instead, use MacPorts to install all software.
