Here's a workaround.
You will need iconv.so which you can get from:
http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.8.2-i386-mswin32.zip

open the zip and extract iconv.so from -
  lib\ruby\1.8\i386-mswin32\
to the corresponding directory of your ruby install.

You will also need the iconv.dll which you can download from:
  http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?iconv

HTH,
