Rails 2.3.8 won't run on Passenger after upgrade to Ruby EE - iconv error

I just installed Ruby EE 11.01. I had a Rails 2.3.8 application that was running against Passenger 3.0.2 on Apache2. Now, my application will not come up. The error is:

no such file to load -- iconv

I am on Mac OS X 10.6.4. I installed Ruby EE with:

sudo ./installer -c --with-openssl-dir=/opt/local -c --with-readline-dir=/opt/local -c --with-iconv-dir=/opt/local

"which iconv" yields:

/opt/local/bin/iconv

Attempting to install gem iconv yields:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing iconv:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2011.01/bin/ruby extconf.rb

checking for iconv() in -liconv... no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

is my iconv path wrong in the install line? Help!

EDIT:

Looking in the log file above I see this:

    5: int t() { void ((*volatile p)()); p = (void ((*)()))iconv; return 0; }
    /* end */

I highly recommend using RVM on Mac OS. It's extremely easy to install and it handles downloading and compiling the environment with readline, iconv, openssl, zlib, etc. I can't tell you how many hours it's saved me.

Back to your question - did you try gem install iconv -- --with-iconv-dir=/opt/local ?
