How can i make libiconv

I do not understand how it can be
I make "make" on "iconv" in the answer I receive

config.status: creating Makefile
/usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3: unsupported file layout
config.status: error: could not create Makefile

fetch http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.15.tar.gz
tar jxvf libiconv-1.15.tar.gz
cd libiconv-1.15
./configure --prefix=/usr/home/my/paket/libiconv-1.15

forgot to specify the OS FreeBSD-9.3
pkg_add is not able to do because the packages are not available
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/Latest
I have to use
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.2-release/Latest
 
The first thing you need to do is upgrade your FreeBSD environment. 9.3 is pretty much 4 years old * and there have been many severe bugs found in the mean time. That's also the cause of your problem: trying to run modern software on an outdated environment, it's simply not going to work. Nor is that version supported on these forums.

So:
  • Upgrade to a supported version of FreeBSD, see this link.
  • Then install libiconv using either the Ports collection (converters/libiconv) or packages.

* (edit): 9.3 went EOL in December 2016, so it's not as old as I initially claimed (1 year & 3 months). Even so this doesn't change the issue at hand: your only liable option is to upgrade to either 10.4 or 11.1.
 
update to FreeBSD-9.2 will not reach, already costs FreeBSD-9.3
I need the FreeBSD-6.4 version
from the ports can not be set, everything else then stops working.
already tried to put "gettext", more than half of the programs stopped working.
 
The server has stopped working, now it is necessary to go to another city to re-install it and start all over again.
The journey takes 16 hours.

Thanks for the help.
