[webkit-dev] WebKit Fails to build in XCode 3.1

[David Kilzer]

Xcode 3.1 should work.

If you run "which iconv" from a Terminal window, what is the output?

If you run "iconv --version", what is the output?

Do you have Fink or MacPorts installed?

Which version of Mac OS X do you have installed?
