Rubyinstaller devel - Mar 2009 - Current Zlib module hangs Ruby

I just downloaded, built, and installed the one-click installer and it
seems that

require ''zlib''

(as done by, for example, RubyGems) causes Ruby to look up.  I see no
reason for this behavior.  Copying over zlib.so from the old installer
seems to work fine.

Also, rubygems_mingw/text.rb doesn''t get included in the installer.

I''ll investigate what happens on this. Perhaps an older version of
zlib1.dll is interfering.

rubygems has no text.rb file I''m aware of.

And for the MSI installer contain those files, the WiX XML files need
to be updated.

It does now.  I cloned the repository (sorry about using the word
"downloaded" earlier), did

% rake CHECKOUT=1
% rake package

and then installed using the generated msi.  I should note that in the
RubyGems that this downloaded there was a problem with the --destdir
command line option to setup.rb, but the RubyGems developers seem to
be aware of the problem and are hopefully going to fix it.

Perhaps I shouldn''t have done CHECKOUT=1?

do you  have other versions of zlib*.dll on your system perhaps?

No, there is no text.rb file in RubyGems repository:

There are a lot of moving parts that need resync, RubyGems, Ruby and
others needs to be reviewed.

Will have time over this weekend to resync master.

I recommend not building the Microsoft Installer (MSI) package, since
the files changed are not being included in the manifest.

Just copy rubygems_mingw over ruby_mingw and you have a ruby version
to relocate to any path you want.

Well it certainly did here.  Perhaps a bogus rubygems version got
pulled for some reason.  As I said, there were a lot of issues with
the rubygems that I got by the commands below:

That''s what I wound up doing :-)

Anyway, I''ve gotten most things set up and am looking to get a win32
release of character-encodings out the door soon.  The new ruby
installer really looks promising.  So far I have the feeling that the
mingw-based build is one or two times faster than the latest ruby
installer.  Thanks!

Definitely I''ll take a look to that, sorry for the problems.

character-encodings you said? great!

I hear some guys looking for that gem! :-D

Had that in my todo list for the past weeks, but job took over my free
time (and I was traveling a lot).

Keep us posted and let us know anything that we can do to help you on this.

Cheers!

I''m guessing that the rubygems devs are to blame.

Yeah, he''s been mailing me for a while now.  I caught the flu and also
had to catch up with ?real? work.
