You don't have to worry about it on CentOS 5.4+ (and some other Red Hat-based systems).

It's already provided in the glibc library:

    After installing rvm on CentOS 5.6 and run rvm notes:

    dependencies:
      # For RVM
      rvm: yum install -y bash curl git # NOTE: For git you need the EPEL repository enabled
    
      # For Ruby (MRI & Ree) you should install the following OS dependencies:
      ruby: yum install -y gcc-c++ patch readline readline-devel zlib zlib-devel libyaml-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel ;
            yum install -y make bzip2 ;
            yum install -y iconv-devel # NOTE: For centos 5.4 final iconv-devel might not be available :(
    

    However iconv-devel cannot be found:

    Setting up Install Process
    No package iconv-devel available.
    Nothing to do
    

    How can I install it?
