[GEMPAK #HVA-261441]: OSX Gempak error

Kelton,

I just ran into this problem on my OS X system and found a workout involving a 
single line edit to $NAWIPS/config/Makeinc.darwin

line 19, change from

XML2OPT = 'CC=$(CC)' '--with-iconv'

to

XML2OPT = 'CC=$(CC)' '--without-iconv'

and then run 'make distclean' from the top-level $NAWIPS directory, followed by 
a clean build 'make all; make install'

Let me know how this works for you.  Just tested it again this morning and 
found it solves this libxml2 issue.
