Trouble with generating _site files in Jekyll

I just migrated to another computer and installed Jekyll. Now I can't seems to get Jekyll to generate my website. When I run jekyll --no-server I get:

/Users/sb/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': iconv will be deprecated in the future, use String#encode instead.

Jekyll seems to be working correctly, but my markdown files in _posts do not seem to be converted to HTML, since I do not have any files in _site. Deleting the _site directory then regenerating my site creates a new _site, but there is no content inside the folder. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Solved. Turned out to be the use of a question mark in the YAML front matter.
