In beta4 iconv is manditory (if you don't have it, you'll get some
problems).  But there's some problem with its detection of your iconv. 
Can you send the complete config log (the config.log file)?

Also, where is the "iconv" library?  On my system there isn't one (iconv
is included in glibc).  But when I install GNU libiconv it goes in
/usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.

Another thing to try using the --with-libiconv-prefix configure parameter.
