.dll files are only for Windows. You don't need iconv.dll for GNU/Linux.

No, not needed.

What error in the ./configure make make install caused you to think that this 
file was needed?

Remember:
$ ./configure
(the dot and slash are required)
$ make
$ su
# make install

Binary files from one operating system are not compatible with binaries from 
another.

If this is Knoppix, why not use apt?

As root, 
# apt-get install gnupg gpa mozilla-thunderbird mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail

There's no need to compile any of these unless you want the absolute latest 
versions. If you learn a bit more about Knoppix and Debian, you can switch to 
the testing version of Debian and get the current releases. Default 'stable' 
might be a little old.
