Well, I'll try that, but this is a fresh install of Centos 5, not a custom-hacked OS, and I would think that git should build out of the box on it.
Yes it should, but your error messages do suggest there is a mismatch between headers and libraries for the iconv functions. And as on Linux those are in libc, which is always linked in, it suggests there is a roque header perhaps!
I checked and there is no iconv package (rpm). I really don't want to have to temporarily rename a header. I can't hand this out to the rest of the company, some of whom do not have root access to be able to rename header files.
You might at least investigate if there is somehow another iconv.h header besides the system one under /usr/include, that might have been used by the compiler instead of the standard one from GNU libc. -- Marco Roeland
