You need to install libiconv from http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.9.1.tar.gz
tar xzf libiconv-1.9.1.tar.gz
cd libiconv-1.9.1
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Now configure / make nagios as usual..

RedHat (actually their lists) claims libiconv is a part of glibc, but i 
couldn't find it anywhere.. however the above workaround did the job 
pretty well.
