I installed the ruby-aaws gem and I tried to run a sample script. I Get the following error. Is there something I am missing ?Thanks.

1. gem install ruby-aaws

2. amazon.rb

require 'amazon/aws'
require 'amazon/aws/search'

include Amazon::AWS
include Amazon::AWS::Search

ASSOCIATES_ID = "************"
KEY_ID = '**************'

il = ItemLookup.new( 'ASIN', { 'ItemId' => 'B001COU9I6',
'MerchantId' => 'Amazon' })

rg = ResponseGroup.new( 'Medium' )

req = Request.new(KEY_ID, ASSOCIATES_ID)

resp = req.search( il, rg)
item_sets = resp.item_lookup_response[0].items
item_sets.each do |item_set|
item_set.item.each do |item|
attribs = item.item_attributes[0]
puts attribs
end
end

  1. (ERROR)

You're missing iconv in your system, or your version doesn't match requirements from other packages.

Check if you have iconv installed

iconv --version

or

which iconv

Install iconv gem

gem install iconv

or

rvm pkg install iconv

If nothing works, try older/other versions

gem install iconv -v '~> 1.0.3'
