Problem install epic5 in Fedora 14


There seems to be no package for epic5 in fedora 14 so I attempted to compile from source. During the ./configure phase I got the following error:
"configure: error: Iconv support is required. I could not find your system's iconv support. If you have iconv installed, please re-run configure with the --with-iconv=/path/to/dir option where include/iconv.h and lib/iconv.a exist."

I did a yum search for iconv, I googled the error and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what package includes iconv support?

Assume 'epic5-1.1.2' http://www.epicsol.org/

# yum provides */iconv ( The reply was = glibc-common-2.13-1.x86_64 )

# yum install glibc-devel
( You will not have a usable gcc without glibc-devel.)

May be you are missing all the development tools ?
→ → # yum groupinstall "Development Tools"



Other dependencies for epic5 : # yum install perl-ExtUtils-Embed

Thanks for your help. I'm actually using Blag 140k which is based on Fedora 14, but they have their own repositories. I had tried yum install "Development Tools" and it told me that their was no such group. After I read your response I googled "yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'" and saw that you could also use 'yum groupinstall development-tools'. So I tried that and it installed 53 more packages. To my frustration I still got the same error message. I deleted the epic5-1.1.2 directory and unpacked the tar ball again. After that the configuration went past the error and told me to install ncurses-devel, which I did and it worked. One thing I hadn't been doing, in the message where it told me to install ncurses-devel it also told me to run "make distclean". I hadn't been doing that. I had just been running "make clean". Might that have been the source of the error?

In any event, I've got epic5 now. Thanks.
