Subject: Problem with HTree installation

I added HTree to my installation at
/my/ruby/1.8.4/bin/ruby

The installation seemed to go fine. Afterwards, I found
the htree.rb and htree/ directory in site_ruby/1.8,
as expected.

But the require statement (require 'htree') produces the
following error:

------------------
/my/ruby/1.8.4/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9/iconv.so: 
ld.so.1: ruby: fatal: libiconv.so.2: open failed:

---------------------

Any clue what the problem is?

Note:
If it helps
   % ls /my/ruby/1.8.4/
          lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9/
shows
    iconv.so

but not
    libiconv.so.2

Also:
/my/ruby is in a non-standard location, so there
is the possiblity that some HTree module needs to
be recompiled. (But they all seemed to be .rb files.)
