I thought I would past this hear because I don't know if it is an rdoc  
problem, a Mac problem, or pilot error.

I'm doing "rake doc:app" in a Rails application and it terminates with:

error generating  
\<path\>/doc/app/app/controllers/application\_controller\_rb.html: code  
converter not found (UTF8-MAC to US-ASCII)  
(Encoding::ConverterNotFoundError)

Does anyone know what the cause of this is?

Thank you,  
pedz
