[Haskell-cafe] building darcs failed (Unable to link against the iconv library)

[Dmitry Malikov]

Trying to install darcs with cabal-install:

Linking  /tmp/darcs-2.8.4-12051/darcs-2.8.4/dist/setup/setup  ...
Configuring  darcs-2.8.4...
checking  whether  to  use  -liconv...  setup:  Unable  to  link  against  the  iconv  library.
Failed  to  install  darcs-2.8.4
cabal:  Error:  some  packages  failed  to  install:

What is actually going on here? Iconv libraries already installed with libc6 package.

Running ubuntu, cabal-install-1.16.0.2.
