1,104 PointsMissing Libiconv
Similar issue to Michael Bukowski's in the ticket "Bundle Issue with odot." Except it looks like I'm missing libiconv, not libxml2. I tried the xcode-select remedy Jason mentioned in his response, but that didn't help me. Below is the error message I get upon trying to install nokogiri v 1.6.2.1:
Building nokogiri using packaged libraries.
libiconv is missing. please visit http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html for help with installing dependencies.
*** extconf.rb failed *** Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options.

On Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install build-essentials

1,104 PointsJust ran "sudo install build-essentials" (used sudo to make sure I wouldn't get permissions issues) -- the command returned:
usage: install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 file2 install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 ... fileN directory install -d [-v] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] directory ...
Then, I got the same error again trying to install nokogiri.

11,932 PointsWhat OS you use? If Ubuntu, then you forgot to type apt-get
Full command: sudo apt-get install build-essentials

1,104 PointsSorry, should have specified -- I'm on OS X Mavericks (10.9.3, specifically). So I shouldn't have needed to append apt-get, right?

11,932 PointsNo, apt-get is Ubuntu package manager. I`m not familiar with OS X (afaik its package manager called homebrew), but I think steps should be similar
