It's actually the header files its looking for, at that point, not the
libraries themselves probably. Are they in the obvious place:
/usr/include or /usr/local/include?

Did you install esmtp and iconv yourself, or did SuSE install them for
you? (I'm guess you installed esmtp 0.8.7 because that's a very new
version.  On the other hand, I would have expected suse to come with
iconv).

There are typically clues in the last few lines of config.log showing
exactly what's going wrong. In particular, it shuold tell you exactly which header file or library it can't find.
