I suspect if you try to run "gcc --version" it will fail as well.

Have you install the libiconv package as well?  If not, do so.

If so you need to change your library path (as if you have libiconv, it 
would appear that gcc has not been compiled with -Wl,-R/usr/local/lib so 
that it finds the library at runtime).

Try:

crle -u -l /usr/local/lib

or similar.
