[tex-live] TeX Live 2007 xetex, xdvipdfmx shared library woes on Solaris 10 sparc

[Paul Eggert]

This is a problem with TeX Live 2007 on Solaris 10 sparc.

I found two problems with xetex and xdvipdfmx.  First, they seem to
assume that /usr/sfw/lib is in the standard runtime library path, but
this isn't true on a default Solaris 10 installation.  Second, they
link to libiconv.so.2, but that's not installed on our departmental
Solaris 10 servers.

A simple solution (which is what I did) is to not install xetex and
xdvipdfmx.  Another possibility would be to ship the libraries in
question, as part of TeX Live.

Here are the symptoms of the problem:
