Hello all,

I am a nuby as far as Ruby is concerned and have decided to work on an
IRC bot as my first pet project. To faciliate me in this I have
installed the libnet-irc-ruby libs by Hiroshi Igarashi. Upon running
my own test (as well as with the supplied example bot) I get
confronted with the following error:

adanidas:~/ruby$ ./acrobot.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/localize.rb:139: Unknown coding system(""). (RuntimeError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/irc/irc.rb:13:in `require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/irc/irc.rb:13
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/irc/client.rb:10:in `require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/irc/client.rb:10
        from ./acrobot.rb:6:in `require'
        from ./acrobot.rb:6

This makes it seem to me that I need to set $KIOCODE somewhere to
something. Now my question is: Where do I set this and to what?

Any insights would be much appreciated :)
