Subject: Iconv (& sqlite) problems on Leopard: Ruby 1.9.1/Rails 2.3.2

I have both a PPC Mac and an Intel Mac, and I recently installed Ruby
1.9.1 from source on both the same way, and Rails 2.3.2. I'm trying to
run a Rails app locally that's set to use sqlite3.

This is a side question, not the main issue: on the PPC mac, when I
started the server, I got errors about sqlite3 not existing. I was able
to fix that by doing "sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby". This didn't happen
on the Intel mac. Why did I have to do that?

On the Intel mac, when I try to start the server, I get this:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/inflector.rb:3:in
`require': no such file to load -- iconv (LoadError)
  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/inflector.rb:3:in

  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/core_ext/integer/inflections.rb:1:in

  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/core_ext/integer/inflections.rb:1:in

  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/core_ext/integer.rb:2:in

  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/core_ext/integer.rb:2:in

  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/core_ext.rb:3:in

  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/core_ext.rb:3:in
`block in <top (required)>'
  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/core_ext.rb:1:in
`each'
  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support/core_ext.rb:1:in
`<top (required)>'
  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support.rb:55:in
`require'
  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/active_support.rb:55:in

  from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.3.2/lib/commands/server.rb:1:in

`<top (required)>'
  from script/server:3:in `require'
  from script/server:3:in `<main>'

And this doesn't happen on the PPC mac. On PPC, when I run "gem which
iconv", I get
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/powerpc-darwin9.6.0/iconv.bundle. When I run
that on the Intel mac, I get "Can't find ruby library file or shared
library iconv". (Using the old preinstalled 1.8 version of ruby, the
path to the iconv bundle that's in .../Ruby.framework/... shows up, on
both computers.) I checked the
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/i386-darwin9.6.0/ folder on the Intel mac, and
iconv.bundle is not there. Why is this happening? How can I fix it —
where can I get iconv?

Thanks.
