Well, I'll try that, but this is a fresh install of Centos 5, not a
custom-hacked OS, and I would think that git should build out of the
box on it.

I checked and there is no iconv package (rpm).  I really don't want
to have to temporarily rename a header.  I can't hand this out to
the rest of the company, some of whom do not have root access to
be able to rename header files.
