Good Day! I am attempting to install Jobsworth on FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE
(amd64). It requires Ruby 1.9.x.
I attempted to install Ruby and applicable gems via the FreeBSD ports
collection. Suffice to say that this procedure did not work. 
My
next step was RTFM…
In following the instructions at GitHub - ari/jobsworth: Project Management, Collaboration and Time Tracking.
http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=https://github.com/ari/jobsworth%23readme
, I was able to get much further in the installation process!
I was able to get to Step 5 (Ruby gems). The only way I could get Step
5 (Ruby gems) to complete was to run the command as root although the
instructions wanted the commands run as my Apache user.
When I run Step 6 (Setup configuration and database) and initialize the
database schema, I get:
Initialize database schema [n]: y
Initializing database schema
(in /usr/local/www/jobsworth)
rake aborted!
no such file to load – iconv

Loading Rails to create account…

I have attempted:
http://www.v25media.com/blog/read/forcing_ruby_1_9_2_via_rvm_to_use_iconv
http://blog.dev001.net/post/2436585997/installing-iconv-using-bundler-on-freebsd
Each of these refer to installing ruby using the --with-iconv-dir
option. I have tried the following commands after ‘rvm package install
iconv’:
rvm install --trace 1.9.2 -C
–with-iconv-dir=/usr/local/rvm/src/libiconv-1.13.1
rvm install --trace 1.9.2 -C --with-iconv-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
rvm install --trace 1.9.2 --C --with-iconv-dir=/usr/local/lib
None have worked. I fear I am missing something simple. Alas, I have
zero Ruby experience prior to this project. Any assistance would be
greatly appreciated!!!
Thank You In Advance!
