If You are parsing XML with Ruby, You probably have been using REXML to parse it. Well yesterday I was faced with error left by REXML:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/parsers/treeparser.rb:90:in `parse': No decoder found for encoding ISO-8859-2. Please install iconv.> (REXML::ParseException)
I was a bit surprised, since it was on FreeBSD box, which have installed iconv by default.
Solution is very simple – REXML was complaining about missing iconv gem! On FreeBSD it means You have install /usr/ports/converters/ruby-iconv.
