[SOLVED] Error “undefined reference to `libiconv_open’” while compiling

I was trying to compile sphinx server from source but I go the following errors on executing make

undefined reference to `libiconv_open’
undefined reference to `libiconv’
undefined reference to `libiconv_close’

To fix the error, you can compile without iconv (multiple encoding support) support. Use the following commands to compile. You can add more parameters as per your requirements.

./configure --without-iconv
make CFLAGS=-liconv
make install

I hope that helps
