No didn't work but:

Yep, in a roundabout way, for archive purposes I'll explain what I did 
here:

I got the gettext bundel from:

http://www.gnu.org/directory/gettext.html

Unpacked and installed this without any problems, here on this PII 266 
'make check', took ages to run, so I let it run over night, because I'm 
that kind of guy. 

Next morning when I ran pan 0.13.2.90's configure script I got an error
message telling me that the iconv-detect was broken and that I should 
update it (this had never happened before, the config script seems to 
be missing stuff out/not reporting it correctly).  I got libiconv from: 

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv 

I installed this and ran pan's configure again but still got an error 
message about iconv-detect, so had a good look around, I ended up adding
/usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and was surprised that it wasn't 
already there, I've been using this box since April with no problems 
apart from building pan.  I ran /sbin/ldconfig as root, logged out of 
the session and logged back in and ran pan's configure script again,
this time no errors (but I wansn't getting configure script errors 
either before installing the gettext libraries), pan compiled and 
installed without any problems. 

A real nice newsreader, but the single click action sucks big time when 
you're only on a slow dial up connection, I think I'll be going bak to 
an earlier version that only selects a message with a single click, not 
start downloading it regardless of weather or not you're already 
trying to downloading something else. 

Thanks for the help with the build problem.
