Subject: Problems with upgrade to 1.8.4

Actually this is _almost_ a gems problem in that it shows up with gems.

I've installed a new compile of 1.8.4 and rubygems 0.9.0
However when I try to run gems it can't find a library file:

$ gem
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- zlib (LoadError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/package.rb:9
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/builder.rb:7
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:93:in `manage_gems'
        from /usr/bin/gem:10

"zlib" ?? as in "zlib.rb" or ...

$ find /usr/lib/ruby -name '*zlib*' -print
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i586-linux-gnu/zlib.so

There seem to be a few other things it can't find like 'path.rb'

Were these supposed to be in the Ruby distribution or do I need to download
them from somewhere else?
