Subject: Re: LoadError: cannot load such file -- feedtools

1. You are right, I can see the true response after adding that comment 
on the very top of the uri_helper.rb file. it seems that the problem is 
almost solved.
Here is the message after the code

irb(main):001:0> require 'feed_tools'
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': 
iconv will be deprecated in the future, use String#encode instead.
=> true

2. Here is another search result as well.
aptitude search readline | grep ruby
v   libreadline-ruby                -
v   libreadline-ruby1.8             -
v   libreadline-ruby1.9.1           -

I also tried to make and make install ruby again from the source code. 
But it seems that nothing has changed. It might not be related to the 
installation process.

p.s. I am new to Ruby, just try to experiment the power of it after some 
readings
