Title: Help needed: "no such file to load -- iconv (LoadError)" Post by: s3sync-newbie on January 13, 2008, 04:25:19 AM Hello,
I'm a newbie to s3sync, and I need your help. When I try to run s3sync.rb on my FreeBSD machine - I get the following error message. Do you have any advice on how I can address this? Thanks in advance! ------------------------ ./S3encoder.rb:17:in `require': no such file to load -- iconv (LoadError) from ./S3encoder.rb:17 from ./s3try.rb:24:in `require' from ./s3try.rb:24 from ./s3sync.rb:22:in `require' from ./s3sync.rb:22 Title: Re: Help needed: "no such file to load -- iconv (LoadError)" Post by: ferrix on January 13, 2008, 01:47:37 PM Get newer ruby?

S3encoder.rb:17:in `require': no such file to load -- iconv (LoadError) from /usr/home/boatrv/backup/s3sync/S3encoder.rb:17:in `<top (required)>' from /usr/home/boatrv/backup/s3sync/s3try.rb:29:in `require' from /usr/home/boatrv/backup/s3sync/s3try.rb:29:in `<module:S3sync>' from /usr/home/boatrv/backup/s3sync/s3try.rb:10:in `<top (required)>' from s3sync.rb:25:in `require' from s3sync.rb:25:in `<module:S3sync>' from s3sync.rb:11:in `<main>' I am using the current version of Ruby (1.9.1). Can anyone offer any insight? Title: Re: Help needed: "no such file to load -- iconv (LoadError)" Post by: falk0069 on January 15, 2010, 09:34:57 PM Found this on a different forum:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= It's here: /usr/ports/converters/ruby-iconv If you are new to FreeBSD [ like me ], /usr/ports/ is loaded up with a bunch of software which you can install. Usually software I find there installs cleanly with a simple make make install So, I installed ruby-iconv and now require 'iconv' returns true rather than an exception. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= hope it works for you.

I had to contact our hosting provider (I didn't have the grants to make any changes) and we eventually got it straightened out. Here is what they told me:
One of our administrators looked into this further. They noticed that this is a problem with iconv.so, which is a FreeBSD port that Ruby was looking for. We already have that port installed at /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd7/, but Ruby was looking for it in /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd7.2/. He copied that port over to the location that Ruby was looking for, and was able to run "./s3sync.rb --help" within your account. You may want to try running this again now. |
