usually, that means that you missed some prerequisite package. if you read the text underneath the link to the package on sunfreeware.com, it specifically states that you need to install libiconv, which is also available as a package.
the error message, in its simplest form, means that a library that is required is not present on your system (or not in the library search path)

Does the error mean that ld.so.1 could not be found OR that libiconv.so.2 could not be found?
