From: Stephen Boesch Date: 2012-03-25T07:43:39+09:00 Subject: Re: rvm / gem install not working (zlib issue) on ubuntu The solution was buried in the install log: the X11 libraries were not found. That was a surprise: this window (chrome ..) is running on the machine along with a bunch of other gui apps.. i guess there are additional libraries required for development. Use ActiveTcl libraries (if available). Search tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh............................... Fail to find [tclConfig.sh, tkConfig.sh] Use X11 libraries (or use TK_XINCLUDES/TK_XLIBSW information on tkConfig.sh). Warning:: cannot find X11 library. tcltklib will not be compiled (tcltklib is disabled on your Ruby. That is, Ruby/Tk will not work). Please check configure options. If your Tcl/Tk don't require X11, please try --without-X11. Can't find X11 libraries. So, can't make tcltklib.so which is required by Ruby/Tk. Failed to configure tk. It will not be installed. configuring tk/tkutil Failed to configure tk/tkutil. It will not be installed. configuring win32ole Failed to configure win32ole. It will not be installed. configuring zlib Failed to configure zlib. It will not be installed. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
