[R] Build Error on Opensolaris iconvlist

[Karun Gahlawat]

Uwe,
Sorry I missed it. I do have gnu iconv..
SUNWgnu-libiconv

ls -lra /usr/lib/*iconv* | more
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          14 Jan 23 21:23 /usr/lib/libiconv.so -> li
bgnuiconv.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          22 Jan 23 21:23 /usr/lib/libgnuiconv.so ->
 ../gnu/lib/libiconv.so

And hence the confusion..
