Hi Guys

Can any one please tell me how to install iconv package on Linux. Below is my linux version


Linux  2.6.18-308.1.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Feb 17 16:51:01 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)

As per documentation :

This extension is enabled by default, although it may be disabled by compiling with --without-iconv .

The optional --with-iconv-dir directive is used to specify the location of iconv on the system that PHP is being compiled on, otherwise only the default locations are scanned.

So it is already available and if its not there you can install it yourself..  see itself:
