Hi Marte, 

You're on the right track.  You need to configure
--with-libiconv-prefix=DIR, where "DIR" points to "lib/libiconv.so".  If
you're using 0.61, you can test your results with tsql and TDSDUMP; the
top of the log file will show how libiconv is initialized.  

Write back if you need more help.  Welcome to the project.
