Ruby Gems on Ubuntu Linux
I've just installed the latest and greatest version of Ruby on my Linux box. So far so good. However, installing Rubygems was not straightforward: The setup aborted with a
No such file to load -- zlib (LoadError)What gives? Well, some digging revealed the problem: the packages zlib1g and zlib1g-dev were missing on my system. So, I got them with apt-get. Unfortunately, that was not the whole story. The ruby bindings for zlib were missing too. Fortunately, a Japenese rubyist came to rescue and made my day. In short:
and you are ready to run
sudo apt-get install zlib1g
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
cd ruby-1.8.4/ext/zlib
ruby extconf.rb --with-zlib-include=/usr/include --with-zlib-lib=/usr/lib
make
sudo make install
cd ../../../rubygems-0.8.11
ruby setup.rb
