hello all, i am a rails developer. i ran into this problem when i m
using permalink_fu to generating permalink field.

it runs perfectly when the field is purely english characters, but
when it tries to convert a field with chinese characters, it hangs.

i trace it down until i got to the line with Iconv in the console,
everytime i execute the following, it hangs:


Code :

Iconv.iconv('ascii//ignore//translit','utf-8','some chinese
characters here ???' )

does anyone else run into this problem?thank you

if it helps to list what machine i m on:

Windows XP
ruby 1.8.6
AMD64 3000+

Hi,

It's the Windows One-Click Installer from Ruby's homepage.

I tried to install it to my Windows Vista partition and i got the same
result.

As long as there is chinese characters in the string, it hangs there,
until i press ctrl-c and return, it goes back to the prompt.
