Rails on BSD

Rails
1

I had this problem too. After searching all day I found a solution.

On BSD you need to have a converter installed.

/usr/ports/converters/ruby-iconv/

sudo make install clean

However, that did not solve the problem for me until I found this
post:

“Just change RUBY_DEFAULT_VER?= in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ruby.mk from 1.8
on 1.9.”

I removed the ruby-iconv and reinstalled it and problem is gone.

Good luck.

You might also try using TorqueBox (JRuby) on BSD…

Yeah when you install ruby if you look closely you’ll see a post install
message that says iconv is a separate port. It should read bigger.

“Just change RUBY_DEFAULT_VER?= in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ruby.mk from 1.8
on 1.9.”

I removed the ruby-iconv and reinstalled it and problem is gone.

Yeah that’s a trap everybody falls in. Once it’s set, another version of
ruby won’t update the file.
