Hello,
I fail to install the 'iconv' gem, because of weird build errors.
I have build the 'libiconv' from source and linked the .h and .dylib into the rvm's include and lib directory.
When I run
gem install iconv
Gem outputs strange build errors:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing iconv:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
