avidemux r8713 ubuntu 12.04 64-bit not installing on 2nd computer: fixed

[Jan Gruuthuse]

fixed: had to rebuild libiconv on second machine and create link  libiconv.so.2
Building of revisions 8711 to 8718 did build fine. Strangely enough 8718 did install on the computer where it was build and not on a second computer.
So did revert to previous version and tested.
r8711: ok
r8712: ok
r8713: failed installing on 2nd computer, did install on build computer

Terminal error when starting avidemux3_qt4:

avidemux3_qt4: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

situation is the same with r8721 installs fine on build computer not on non-building 2nd computer.

If libiconv is missing:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
create a folder source example is in users local home:

mkdir ~/source
cd ~/source/
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.14.tar.gz
tar zxvf libiconv-1.14.tar.gz
cd ~/source/libiconv-1.14
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install

you can change mkdir ~/source & cd ~/source/ to suite your needs
