    What is iconv?

    My script needs this, is there a way for me to fix this on shared hosting, or will my host have to fix.

    Thanks

    If you cannot install iconv libraries into your system path, then you can install
    them (use --prefix) into a directory that you do have permissions to. Once that's
    done, you'll need to reconfigure whatever binary/libs to also use this path to find
    libraries. Alternatively, you can use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to tell the program at
    load time where to find other libraries.

    I think the best thing would be to ask the admin of the machine to install iconv
    for you.

    Good Luck.
