I don't think readline links against iconv. What that error says to me<br>
is that GHC is failing to link against *any* iconv. I bet that it's<br>
because you have iconv installed via Macports without +universal. Try:<br>
<br>
$ file /opt/local/lib/libiconv.a<br>
<br>
It should say:<br>
<br>
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.a: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures<br>
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.a (for architecture i386): current ar archive<br>
random library<br>
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.a (for architecture x86_64): current ar<br>
archive random library<br>

I do in fact have the universal binary installed. What's more, both the macport and system versions are universal. I tried telling cabal to explicitly use each, separately, and it failed both times, though it gave me a different error when compiling against the system lib. (It complained about readline again, which is why I assumed readline had some dependency on iconv.)</div>
