I have tried to install Icecast on my server with Centos 5 but when i tried to do the command rpm -Uvh icecast*.rpm

obtain this error:

Error: Dependece failed
libiconv.so.2 necessity of icecast-2.3.2-0.i386

How resolve it?

you need to resolve the dependencies, libiconv is something that is used by libxml2. Instead try yum install icecast....rpm

The dependency you mentioned was libiconv.so.2, make sure that is available (with ldconfig -p). If it has been installed and the rpm DB is not aware of it then you could try to install the icecast rpm avoiding the dependencies check ie rpm --nodeps .-i ...

The error is from rpm, it's saying that it is not aware of anything on your system that provides that library. This could be because you installed a non-rpm package or the package in question is not reprting that library as something to match for. As I've already said, if you are sure that you have the library then you can force the package to be installed. As to why it is not working straight away, we are not able to say as we don't know the history of your setup.
