I've been experiencing Squeak on Solaris printing
iconv_open: Invalid argument
a zillion times over.
Looking at the mailing list archives, this has been a problem on and off for a long time. I first tried compiling with --disable-iconv, which fixed the error, but then some of the plugins complained that they couldn't convert strings. So I decided against that.
I've managed to work around it by as follows:
su - cd /usr/lib/iconv cp mac%alt.so MACINTOSH%UTF-8.so cp alt%mac.so UTF-8%MACINTOSH.so
This seems to shut up all the messages. But I'm nervous, since I suspect that "alt" probably isn't the whole of UTF8...
