See [1] and generally search google for msysgit+libiconv.so.2 as it contains links to other approaches to working around this problem. Note that questions about technical issues with Git for Windows are better asked on the msysgit mailing list [2] or in the project bug tracker [3] (after searching both places for the relevant information). 1. http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/msg/1c32f034869ffa93 2. http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/ 3. https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/issues ``` ## Erik Faye-Lund, 2012-09-16 19:48 Subject: Re: Unable to clone GIT project Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CABPQNSbPF%3D_a7-%2BJnojM2DQAkkj7ZLhSnO%2Bn-Ab%3DLSrHge1dnQ%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20120916104651.GF32381@localhost.localdomain> ``` On Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 12:46 PM, Konstantin Khomoutov wrote: > On Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 03:19:25AM +0000, Ankush_Aggarwal@DELL.com wrote: > >> I have created a GIT repository on Linux 64 bit machine. >> >> When I tried to clone GIT repository on windows 7 machine then I am getting below error. >> >> Error: >> git-upload-pack: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory >> fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly >> >> anyone please help me resolve the issue. > See [1] and generally search google for msysgit+libiconv.so.2 as it > contains links to other approaches to working around this problem. > > Note that questions about technical issues with Git for Windows are > better asked on the msysgit mailing list [2] or in the project bug > tracker [3] (after searching both places for the relevant information). No. This is not a Git for Windows issue. The remote end is the one who isn't able to load libiconv, you can tell from the fact that it complains about "libiconv.so.2", not "libiconv-2.dll", and from the fact that the client informs us that the remote end hung up. Ankush: There's something wrong with the setup on your Linux machine; most likely something related to the library path set up. What protocol are you cloning over? ``` ## Jeff King, 2012-09-17 20:21 Subject: Re: Unable to clone GIT project Message-ID: <20120917202124.GC24888@sigill.intra.peff.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20120917202124.GC24888%40sigill.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: ``` On Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 09:48:43PM +0200, Erik Faye-Lund wrote: > >> git-upload-pack: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory > >> fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly > > [...] > > No. This is not a Git for Windows issue.

Yeah, it is definitely a problem on the remote system. > Ankush: There's something wrong with the setup on your Linux machine; > most likely something related to the library path set up. What > protocol are you cloning over? If I had to guess, I'd say it was ssh, the library is installed in a non-standard place (e.g., because he built them as a regular user and put them in his home directory), and LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not get set properly by ssh for the incoming ssh session. If that is the case, you can fix it with an entry in ~/.ssh/environment, or by telling git that the remote side needs to do more than just run git-upload-pack, like: git clone -u '. $HOME/.profile && git-upload-pack' ... But I am just guessing. We need more information on how the remote system is set up to really know. -Peff ``` ## Ben Walton, 2012-09-17 20:36 Subject: Re: Unable to clone GIT project Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAP30j15%3Dgz9w-ZU%2Bb5Jm%2BfM1PmYgFrwBwAFxzAcPRsWgNcByOw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20120917202124.GC24888@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` > If I had to guess, I'd say it was ssh, the library is installed in a > non-standard place (e.g., because he built them as a regular user and > put them in his home directory), and LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not get set > properly by ssh for the incoming ssh session. This would be my guess as well. If LD_LIBRARY_PATH is being relied upon though, a more stable solution would be to rebuild git with "-Wl,-rpath /path/containing/libiconv" in the LD_OPTIONS environment. That would remove the need for LD_LIBRARY_PATH at runtime. Any other libraries linked in non-standard locations should also have a similar option if the path to the library differs. HTH.

Why do you need that library? iconv is part of glibc. Moreover, git wouldn't link against libiconv anyway unless you explicitly ask for it.

I found the solution. So want to share with you all..... Solution : add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run sudo ldconfig ld.so.conf file includes ld.so.conf.d/*.conf so I created local-lib.conf having value /usr/local/lib and place local-lib.conf under /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory after that I excuted ldconfig which is under /sbin and problem has been resolved.
