On Ubuntu/Debian install the package zlib1g-dev, (which contains the header files ruby's zlib extension needs to build properly) then re-configure, make and make install your ruby-1.9 which it looks like you installed yourself from source. Then reinstall rubygems. Other systems will name the package with zlib header files differently, but otherwise instructions are the same.
