Well, it could be a friendlier message. Add --disable-libiconv to your
configure options.

I'm pretty sure FreeTDS can't use the Solaris iconv library. If you
need internationalization support, install GNU libiconv and use
--with-libiconv-prefix to tell the configure script where to find it.

I should add this information to the User Guide....
