Hi.

I'm trying to install a local copy of the W3C HTML Validator. I've
managed to install all the pre-requisites apart from Text-Iconv-1.4 - I
get the following error message:

/[root@localhost Text-Iconv-1.4]# perl Makefile.PL
Checking for iconv ... ok (added -liconv)

NOTE: If you have multiple iconv implementations installed, you might
      want to make sure that I've found the one you want to use.
      If necessary, you can explicitly specify paths like this:

      /usr/bin/perl5.8.5 Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/path/to/lib'
INC='-I/path/to/include'

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Text::Iconv
[root@localhost Text-Iconv-1.4]# make
cp Iconv.pm blib/lib/Text/Iconv.pm
AutoSplitting blib/lib/Text/Iconv.pm (blib/lib/auto/Text/Iconv)
/usr/bin/perl5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap Iconv.xs >
Iconv.xsc && mv Iconv.xsc Iconv.c
make: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/EXTERN.h', needed by
`Iconv.o'. Stop.
[root@localhost Text-Iconv-1.4]#/

Does anyone know what might be going wrong here? I have installed
libiconv-1.9.1 and man iconv opens the manual up, so I assume I have got
iconv installed.

I have tried to change LIBS/INC to reflect my setup but to be honest I'm
not exactly sure what I should be pointing at here.

Any advice (or suggestions on where I can research this myself) would be
greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Chris
