Re: [Mingw-users] Problem with installing running current MinGW on XP

[Martin R. <H.M...@ed...>]

Folks,

Sorry to bother you with that last email - I have solved the problem.  
Somehow (I don't know how) there was a file called libiconv-2.dll in my 
own C:\bin directory, which is higher up my path than C:\MinGW\bin.  On 
renaming that MinGW compiles fine.  I don't know what *won't* work 
because of me renaming the libiconv-2.dll in my C:\bin directory, but 
that's for another day!
