Subject: Re: Gems zlib problem

YES! Done. Done. Done!

Basically after make and make test and make install still didn't produce 
a working gems (same zlib error), I cd-ed into /[ruby source 
dir]/ext/zlib and poked around. There was a Makefile, but make didn't 
work on it. Noticed extconf.rb. Executed it in ruby. Tried make again. 
Bingo. Tried make install. Bingo. Tried installing gems. Booyah!

It seems the main thing that happened is that the ruby zlib make file 
put zlib.so in /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux.

IMHO this means something is likely borked on the ruby 184 source 
install. Shouldn't it have done all this for me? Or noted it in the 
docs?

Anywhere, here's the sordid transcripts, with some inconsequential cd-s 
and cat-s omitted. By the way, I did this on top of my prior source 
install, after it had run.

Time to escape to the gym!

As of RubyGems 0.8.0, library stubs are no longer needed.
Searching $LOAD_PATH for stubs to optionally delete (may take a 
while)...
...done.
No library stubs found.
