Question

I am using libxml2 to parse xml but on compiling the solution it throws

fatal error : cannot open iconv.h

When i have placed the iconv.h there and rebuild again then again it throws other

error unable to open include file sys/cdefs.h.

i am ending up in a vicious circle . please help

What build environment? It sounds like you don't have the right iconv.h for your system. — CrazyCasta, Sep 25 '12 at 08:53
