I can't seem to get libxml2 (using libxml2-2.5.1) to install correctly.
I do a ./configure BUILD=darwin

Everything seems to configure correctly. Then when I do a make or a
make install I get :

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I./include -I./include -g -O2 -Wall -c
SAX.c  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/SAX.lo
/Library/Frameworks/libxml.framework/Headers/encoding.h:27: header file
'iconv.h' not found
/Library/Frameworks/libxml.framework/Headers/encoding.h:132: undefined
type, found `iconv_t'
/Library/Frameworks/libxml.framework/Headers/encoding.h:133: undefined
type, found `iconv_t'
cpp-precomp: warning: errors during smart preprocessing, retrying in
basic mode
make[2]: *** [SAX.lo] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

It seems to install the include files into /usr/local/inclue but no
binary in /usr/local/bin

Then if I try to install XML::LibXML or another module needing libxml3
it tells me it can't find libxml2.

Any thoughts?
