[Instantrails-users] Missing iconv.dll file

[William (Bill) Froelich]

What is strange is that the iconv.dll file does exist in the
c:\InstantRails-1.0\ruby\lib directory.  Copying it to the
c:\InstantRails-1.0\ruby\bin directory eliminates the error.
 
Thanks for the help!

The version of ruby that ships with the current IR release is the base
ruby-mswin32 distribution which does not include iconv.dll. The
One-Click Ruby installer adds iconv.dll (and a lot more) to this base
Ruby distribution. You could replace the ruby in IR with the one-click
installer's version (you'd probably have to reinstall all of the
RubyGems, though). 

Or you could just get iconv.dll out of the one-click installer (install
it somewhere else temporarily) and copy it to the same directory in IR.
You can find the one-click installer here:

	Hi all,
	 
	I'm just getting started learning Ruby and Rails and downloaded
the InstantRails-1.0 distribution to jumpstart my efforts.
Unfortunately I am receiving an error "This application has failed to
start because iconv.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application
may fix the problem." when I attempt to generate the default structure
for my test app.
	 
	c:\InstantRails-1.0\rails_apps> rails test1
	 
	Pops us a dialog box with the error message but then appears to
work.  I also receive the same error (twice) when executing 
	 
	c:\InstantRails-1.0\rails_apps\test1>ruby script\console
	 
	While it doesn't appear to be affecting anything yet it is
annoying to have it happening every time I am trying to start things up.
