Rails 3 installation hangs on Gem Builder with "unable to convert" \ xF1 "from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8"

Question

I followed this tutorial http://pragmaticstudio.com/blog/2010/9/23/install-rails-ruby-mac to install Ruby on Rails on Mac OS X (Lion 10.7).

Everything went fine until I installed Rails with rvm (v. 1.6) when I received the following messages:

Installing RDoc documentation for builder-3.0.0... unable to convert "\xF1" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for README, skipping unable to convert "\xF1" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for README.rdoc, skipping** 

(Builder version successfully installed 2.1.2)

and

 Installing RDoc documentation for rails-3.0.9... file 'lib' not found 

(Rails version successfully installed 3.0.9)

I did some research, but could not find a solution. Looks like I'm not the only one who has run into this problem.

What should I do to fix this?

Answer 1

RubyGems just couldn't change the encoding for README. The rails should work fine.
