ImageMagick is useful, in that wv's scripts will check for IM's convert,
but IM isn't required for building wv. (Although wv checks for IM, it
can't currently use it.)

In abi, I presume. Since you're using linux, AbiWord will probably not
expect you to have libiconv.
Compilation is failing in wv, however. For it looks like wv also doesn't
expect you to have libiconv installed, but the preprocessor is picking up
libiconv's iconv.h (/usr/local/include/iconv.h ?) instead of the system
iconv.h (/usr/include/iconv.h).
I can only suggest (again) that you re-run configure (in abi) like:
LIBS="-liconv" ./configure [OPTIONS]
If this fails, I'll take a closer look when I get back to the land of the
living (4th Jan).

ps. This version isn't compatible. Get libwmf-0.2.2.

It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and
wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again.
That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong.
