Rails - Apr 2006 - help! installing rubygems in ubuntu... problems with zlib

Hi,

I am trying to install Ruby on Rails on a Linux Ubuntu PC. I already 
installed manually ruby 1.8.4. But when I try to install rubygems, I get 
the error:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in 
`require__'': no such file to load -- zlib (LoadError)
        from 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in 
`require''
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/package.rb:9
        from 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in 
`require''
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/builder.rb:1
        from 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in 
`require''
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:61:in 
`manage_gems''
        from 
/home/carlos/Desktop/rubygems-0.8.11/./post-install.rb:64:in 
`install_sources''
        from 
/home/carlos/Desktop/rubygems-0.8.11/./post-install.rb:75:in 
`try_run_hook''
        from setup.rb:577:in `run_hook''
        from setup.rb:1315:in `exec_task_traverse''
        from setup.rb:1168:in `exec_install''
        from setup.rb:887:in `exec_install''
        from setup.rb:705:in `invoke''
        from setup.rb:674:in `invoke''
        from setup.rb:1352


I installed zlib with the package manager (libzlib-ruby) and manually, 
even recompiled ruby, but still I get this error... I searched for info 
on this problem, but all I found was that the problem should be solved 
with libzlib-ruby...

Help!

Thanks a lot,
Carlos

Great! Thanks a lot! That did the works...
I guess the main step was to install ruby-zlib, that is not mentioned on 
the places I checked...

Too bad.  Link is dead.
Sounded promising.
