Subject: Compiling Ruby 1.9.1 zlib issue on Windows

Hi everyone,

I just have a strange issue and it's probably a step that I'm missing
somewhere...

I wanted to compile a windows version of 1.9.1 to include Tk so that I
would have cross-platform GUI for Ruby.

I downloaded and installed Tcl, and the latest Zlib installer.  I
performed the following updates:

set INCLUDE=c:\tcl\include;c:\program files\GnuWin32\include;%INCLUDE%
set LIB=c:\ruby\lib;c:\tcl\lib;c:\program files\GnuWin32\lib;%LIB%
set LIBPATH=c:\ruby\lib;c:\tcl\bin;c:\tcl\lib;c:\program
files\GnuWin32\bin;c:\program files\GnuWin32\lib;%LIBPATH%
set PATH=c:\ruby\bin;c:\tcl\bin;c:\program files\GnuWin32\bin;%PATH%
set RUBYPATH=c:\ruby

I DC'd from my router and disabled/paused kaspersky so it wouldn't
interfere with permissions during nmake..

I moved the latest 1.9.1-p129 source into a folder called c:\rubysource

cd rubysource (and hit enter)
type vcvars32 (and hit enter)
type win32\configure.bat --prefix=c:\ruby (and hit enter)
type nmake and hit enter
type nmake DESTDIR=c:\ruby install (and hit enter)

I run ruby -v (ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412)
[i386-mswin32_90]
I run gem -v (1.3.1)
I run IRB.
% require 'tk'
% Tk::TK_PATCHLEVEL

.. all checks out OK .. so far so good..

I type gem update --system

C:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/spec_fetcher.rb:1:in 'require': no such
file to load -- zlib (LoadError)

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  I downloaded and installed the
latest zlib source (version 1.2.3)..

During the nmake process I even see it compiling zlib...
