[Rd] problems with iconv

I did some looking at iconv and tried 'iconv --list', but got an error
saying the libgcc was the wrong elf class - elf class 32.  So I changed the
/opt/csw/lib to /opt/csw/lib/amd64 on my env var LD_LIBRARY.  It ran!  So,
thought I, this is it - I've solved the problem.

But no, even though 'iconv --list' ran I still got the same error message.  

I did notice though that the list returns values for LATIN1 and not latin1
that configure and the update.packages() both seem to want.  

Here is the results of 'iconv --list':

Is there still something wrong with iconv?

I put the header in the <R home>/include.  Was that right?

Thanks again for your attention,
Roger
