BBB install and resque 1.15.0

[James]

during a fresh install of BBB on Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit), I am receiving the following error message while installing resque:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (ArgumentError)
    invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII


Am I going to have to download the source for the gem and compile it, or is there a workaround for this?

Thanks!

Hi James,

We've not seen this error message before, but I googled it and got a number of hits with others encountering similar problems.   See the following link for search results

Finally was able to fix the issue.  I had to run the following commands from the console:

sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

then I was finally able to

gem install resque -v 1.15.0

whew!

I got the same exact error with risque.  I did not have success after trying:

sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

instead I then tried:

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

Then:

apt-get -f install

Was finally able to complete the installation...
