Hi Jeremy, James,

First the good news. I'm working fine on Solaris (2.6 though).
The --disable-libiconv flag was coded for me (thanks James) because my
install of Solaris comes with an iconv implementation that is inadequate to
the task.
I got to the root of the problem by putting my own debug code into the iconv
bits & pieces in the tds code.

I'd start with src/tds/iconv.c , putting some debug printf's into
tds_iconv_init() to find out what's happening.

We need to find out the paths through this function that are being executed
and the values of various parameters being passed to  iconv_open() therein.

I'd also put basic debug into the functions in src/replacements/iconv.c , so
that we can be reassured that it is our "replacement" code for iconv_open()
and iconv() that's being called.

HTH, 

Bill
