I'm trying to install a gem named Fabulator on CentOS 6 CR x86_64. It's failing on libxslt-ruby. This is the error I get when trying the gem manually...

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/libxslt-ruby-1.0.8 for inspection. Results logged to /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/libxslt-ruby-1.0.8/ext/libxslt/gem_make.out
I have installed libxslt and libxslt-devel via yum. I'm running ruby-1.8.7 and gem-1.3.7. Listing the gems available for xslt, and what catches my eye is the x86-mingw32 items. Looking on CentOS 5 I found the package "mingw32-iconv" in EPEL, but am unsure if that is what would solve this. If it is, then could I simply build a CentOS 6 RPM from the SRPM for CentOS 5?
# gem search xslt --both
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
libxslt-ruby19 (0.9.8) ruby-xslt (0.9.8)
*** REMOTE GEMS ***
blackwinter-libxslt-ruby (1.0.1) libxslt-ruby (1.0.8 ruby x86-mingw32, 0.9.6 x86-mswin32-60) libxslt-ruby-r19mingw1 (0.9.7) libxslt-ruby19 (0.9.8) polyrex-xslt (0.1.0) rexslt (0.1.4) ruby-xslt (0.9.8)
The gem I'm trying to install, fabulator, has the following dependencies...
# gem dependency fabulator --both Gem fabulator-0.0.16 RedCloth (>= 4.2.0, runtime) activesupport (>= 2.3.0, runtime) libxml-ruby (>= 1.1.3, runtime) libxslt-ruby (>= 0.9.7, runtime) radius (>= 0.6.1, runtime)
Please let me know what other information may be useful in this case. This is for a series of websites running Radiant that I've inherited and this is all working in FreeBSD though that server is barely hanging on and so I'm moving to my existing CentOS infrastructure. I'm about to try RVM but would prefer to stick with yum based package and version management.

Well , it turns out mingw32-iconv was not the solution. I had to do the most convoluted build process to get those RPMs and the error persists, but thankfully there were some amazing step by step instructions , http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5180.
Also seems that libiconv isn't solving this dependency issue because it's now part of glibc-common.
If anyone has any advice or knows of a way to get libxslt-ruby installed, please let me know.
Thanks - Trey
