ok,
I found the magic sauce.
It's actually on my beastie box
It's here:
/usr/ports/converters/ruby-iconv
If you are new to FreeBSD [ like me ],
/usr/ports/
is loaded up with a bunch of software which you can install.
Usually software I find there installs cleanly with a simple
make
make install
So, I installed ruby-iconv and now
require 'iconv'
returns true rather than an exception.

Yep,
I too have just bumped into this issue.
I see it on a freebsd box:
bash jake oracle /usr/local 12 $ uname -a
FreeBSD jake.host.com 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Tue Nov 1
05:56:17 CST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/JAKE

bash jake oracle /usr/local 13 $
I compared my bsd box to my Mac:
bash jake oracle ~/o 24 $ find . -print|grep iconv
./lib/ruby/1.8/xsd/iconvcharset.rb
bash jake oracle ~/o 25 $ which ruby
/home/oracle/o/bin/ruby

bash jake oracle ~/o 27 $ irb

bash maco-mois-powerbook-g4-17 maco /r 4 $ irb

require 'iconv'

irb(main):002:0 quit
bash maco-mois-powerbook-g4-17 maco /r 5 $
It looks like my Mac has some kind of iconv special sauce on it.
I assume it was put there when I installed ruby.
I'd like to find the said sauce for my freebsd beastie.

Hi,
I'm trying to use the SaltedHashLoginGenerator as documented on
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/SaltedHashLoginGenerator
Ruby version: ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-openbsd3.9]
I've the following commands:
gem install salted_login_generator
gem install localization_generator
rails myapp
cd myapp
ruby script/generate salted_login User Localization
All ran successfully.
I then created the databases and schema, without incident.
In theory, I should be able to hit my server:
http://my.host.com:3000/user .
Doing so, throws an error page in my face:
+---
+ MissingSourceFile
+
+ no such file to load -- iconv
+
There are many posts out there conerning this missing dependency for
windows, but none for *NIX.
What is iconv and where is it missing from? ruby? rails?
In either case, where do I get said file?
