Dear Developers,

This is my first time here. I was trying out QuotesSpider example given in 
docs (page# 5, here 
<https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/scrapy/1.2/scrapy.pdf>), but having a 
hard time to get it running. I installed scrapy from conda in the root 
environment. I am on Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit machine. As soon as I run the 
given code snippet with the following command:

$ scrapy runspider quotes_spider.py -o quotes.json

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/rip/miniconda2/bin/scrapy", line 4, in <module>

    from .. import etree
ImportError: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory

As apparent, an object file seems to be missing. Do I have to build scrapy 
from source, or is there an alternative?

Thank You
