Ruby-zlib should be built into Ruby 1.8

you might want to try building ruby-zlib by hand

wget http://www.blue.sky.or.jp/atelier/ruby/ruby-zlib-0.6.0.tar.gz
tar xvzf ruby-zlib-0.6.0.tar.gz
cd ruby-zlib-0.6.0
ruby extconf.rb && make && make install


then, I would try reinstalling Ruby Gems from source.
