problem installing libiconv-1.9.2

[Steve Kelem]

What's the trick to getting libiconv to install?  If I try to do "make 
install" from tcsh, I get the message:
 /bin/install -c -m 644 .libs/cygiconv-2.dll $dldir/cygiconv-2.dll
/bin/install: cannot remove `/usr/lib/../bin/cygiconv-2.dll': Permission 
denied

I assume that this is because I'm using cygwin/tcsh.

The main reason I'm trying to recompile iconv is because after building 
gd-2.0.22, I cannot get the perl module GD-2.12 to link, so I'm trying 
to build a more recent copy (1.9.2) of libiconv:

gcc -shared -o  GD.dll -Wl,--out-implib=libGD.dll.a 
-Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--stack,8388608 \
-s -L/usr/local/lib GD.o  
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/cygwin-thread-multi-64int/CORE/libperl.dll.a 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lgd -lpng -lz 
-lfreetype -ljpeg -lm -lX11 -lXpm
Creating library file: libGD.dll.a
/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1/../../../libgd.a(gdkanji.o)(.text+0x707): 
In function `do_convert':

Thanks for your help,
