Question

When I want to install sass and compass, I get this message. Can someone help me?

C:\Users\Bk>gem install sass

ERROR:  While executing gem (Encoding::UndefinedConversionError)
    U+2019 to CP850 in conversion from UTF-16LE to UTF-8 to CP850

Answer 1

Open up a command prompt and type:

chcp 1252

Then run the installer again:

gem install sass

Unfortunately there's a known issue in some versions of Ruby regarding this. See here

Answer 2

Here is what worked for me:

modified line 70 of registry.rb (in your ruby installation folder).

Change this line:

LOCALE = Encoding.find(Encoding.locale_charmap)

to this one:

LOCALE = Encoding::UTF_8
