Hi , could you help me please  or you can give to me some link  , I need to know  if the libiconv library in my solaris is  in 32 or 64 bits

Solaris does not ship with a libiconv. If you have one on your system it is a 3rd party library.

You can check with

  file <library>

if it is a 32 or 64 bit library. Usually 64 bit libraries are located in .../lib/<64-bit-isa>

and are accessible by a symlink .../lib/64

because  when we compile something we receive some  error message

It is a bit hard to diagnose if you don't give at least the compiler

you are using, the compile options and the error message, but most

certainly you missed to specify the correct library search path with -L.

and we can´t continue, in solaris  for default we install all in 64 bits , but i think the libiconv library is in 32 bits. Another  favor could you please give to me how can install  liviconv in 64 bits.

There is a 64 bit libiconv available from OpenCSW:

  http://www.opencsw.org/packages/libiconv/

The build manifest for the package is available at

  http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/libiconv/trunk/
