I have Yosemite OSX 10.10 and XCode 6.1 installed.
I got suggestions for installing the xCode command tools so that I can install libiconv.
Then brew install libiconv.
Then brew link libiconv.
$ xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed,
use "Software Update" to install updates
Then I did:
$ brew install libiconv
Error: No available formula for libiconv Apple distributes libiconv with OS X,
you can find it in /usr/lib. Some build scripts fail to detect it correctly,
please check existing formulae for solutions.
So what I had to do:
$ brew tap homebrew/dupes
Then I did:
$ brew link libiconv
Warning: libiconv is keg-only and must be linked with --force
Note that doing so can interfere with building software.
$ brew link libiconv --force
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.14... 16 symlinks created
This led me to my original "libiconv is missing" error when trying to install tiny_tds. I have another error: "freetds is missing"
$ brew install freetds
Finally:
$ gem install tiny_tds
