Well that makes it somewhat easier.

Just in case I downloaded the current sources from git at SF.  I might be
worth
building a new version and put it into the file section.

Anyway So I compiled it or tried to and got some errors then as a check did
the
same for the current in use build and it produced the same errors.

Around 9 months back I had a major problem with my boot drive and had to
restore a fair number of directories using rsync and that backup was some
months old.

It is possible that the system had updates since (the back up) and something
is
no longer correctly installed but cannot for the life of me work out the
package that contains libiconv   which I assume is the one causing the
problems
although I can see the library and some of the includes.

Here is the o/p from the error log:

Just downloaded libiconv from fsf but that fails compiling so now totally
stuck
