Ruby Newbie...

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 https://github.com/ari/jobsworth#readme
<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=https://github.com/ari/jobsworth#readme>
, 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

rake aborted!

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!

use rvm over ports for something like this. works well in jails in
freebsd as well.

Thank You for your time Stu. I am using rvm instead of ports. rvm
seems to be a bit more flexible...

I wound up using the following command to install ruby with iconv:

rvm install --trace 1.9.2 -C --with-iconv-dir=/usr/local/rvm/usr

Thank you again for your assistance.

I use the system iconv from the ports which seems to work better than
rvm. Is rvm's iconv work better with the dir change? I will be
providing wayne notes for freebsd when I have the time. So is your
issue fixed? was the --trace 1.9.2 -C
--with-iconv-dir=3D/usr/local/rvm/usr the fix?

Thank You for your time Stu. =A0I am using rvm instead of ports. =A0rvm s= eems to
