Awesome!-- I couldn't get a Vagrant plugin to install relating to a Nokogiri error. followed this. Skipped the

make
sudo make install

# Install libiconv using Homebrew:
# --------------------------------
brew install libiconv
sudo brew link libiconv

Instructions. used xcode-select --install and sudo gem install nokogiri

Probably don't need more than xcode-select --install and sudo gem install nokogiri on Mavericks. Awesome!

+1 xcode-select --install was it! Thx a lot for that!

Thanks works for me as well!
