Subject: Re: problems installing gems on suse 9.1 (zlib probs?)

Lars, I was having the same problems you've describe trying to install
RubyGems on Ubuntu Linux. I had the zlib package installed, and still
I was getting the same errors that you did.

Things changed when I installed the zlib-dev package. I think that's
the solution for your problem too.

cheers,
