Dear Developers,
This is my first time here. I was trying out QuotesSpider example given in
docs (page# 5, here
<https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/scrapy/1.2/scrapy.pdf>), but having a
hard time to get it running. I installed scrapy from conda in the root
environment. I am on Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit machine. As soon as I run the
given code snippet with the following command:
$ scrapy runspider quotes_spider.py -o quotes.json
I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or

As apparent, an object file seems to be missing. Do I have to build scrapy
from source, or is there an alternative?
Thank You
