Ok, this doesn't correct the problem. Let's go few steps back...
For being able to use gstep xml features, I need to install libxml (of course)
that also needs libiconv...
So I build libiconv-1.6.1, the run:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libiconv_plug.so as the readme says.
Got the lib install at the right place: /usr/local/lib... I fell happy ;-)

Download libxml2-2.3.5, start building it but got exatly the same error:

I've tried libiconv.ppc.rpm thet produce the same error when compiling either
libxml or gstep-base...

Help !  Au Secours ! unfortunatly I just speak french or that poor english ;-)
