rvm-iconv-freebsd8.2

here is the complete list of what I needed to do in Freebsd 8.2

 1 pkg_add -r ruby

 2 cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf;make install clean

 3 cd /usr/ports/devel/automake;make install clean

 4 bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)

 5 source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh (add rvm path in bash/zsh)

 6 TEST : rvm | head -1 ----> should get : rvm is a function

 8 rvm --skip-autoreconf pkg install readline

 9 rvm --skip-autoreconf pkg install iconv

10 rvm install 1.8.7 --with-iconv-dir=$rvm_path/usr

11 TEST : irb -----> require 'iconv' -----> should get : true

12 Optional : set this ruby version as system default : rvm use 1.8.7 --defaults

13 Optional : specify the ruby version your project should use
   cd your_project_folder && rvm --rvmrc --create 1.8.7 or rvm --rvmrc --create 1.8.7@gemset_name
