When I'm in the terminal and type "jekyll new project" nothing is created. The terminal replies with: /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in require': iconv will be deprecated in the future, use String#encode instead.
WARNING: Could not read configuration. Using defaults (and options).

I'm running Linux on Ubuntu and both Ruby and Jekyll are on there newest versions. Thanks in advance!

14,213 PointsHi Thomas - From what I can find you may need to be on Ruby 2.0.0 (if i am reading the error right it looks like you are on 1.9.1) I have 2.1.5 and the jekyll new project works fine. From the Jekyll troubleshooting page
If you encounter errors during gem installation, you may need to install the header files for compiling extension modules for Ruby 2.0.0. This can be done on Ubuntu or Debian by running:
sudo apt-get install ruby2.0.0-dev
Hope that helps :)

5,301 PointsYou were correct about me being on 1.9.1, but that command didn't update ruby for me. After some digging I managed to update it. When I run the jekyll new command now it's returning: /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in
require': cannot load such file -- jekyll (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:inrequire' from /usr/bin/jekyll:20:in `<main>'This terminal stuff is frustrating ha. Appreciate the help!
