Well something was severly screwed up with my system and re-installing
all the zlib* packages didn't fix it. Luckily I was intending to
upgrade anyway so I upgraded and re-installed rvm and it worked. What
a pain though, wasted a whole lot of time.

I do agree that the error message is atrocious.  Completely worthless.
