It's + included by default on recent glibc libraries, so it doesn't + need to be installed specifically on linux. It seems it's + now part of the official UNIX specification. Here is one + implementation of the library which source can be found here. + http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/packages-libiconv.html + ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/gnu/ + + 3.libxml does not compile with HP-UX's optional ANSI-C compiler + + this is due to macro limitations.
