What's happening is SL has its own libiconv that interferes with pretty much
everything; there have been bug reports filed against ghc, Fink, MacPorts,
and pretty much every other development-related package/collection I know of
that is available on SL.

(Also, compiling your own something and putting it in /usr/{bin,lib} is a
BAD BAD BAD idea that will come back and bite you at some point.)
