can't install rails - gem is asking for a zlib
Juan Costa
This what is happening:
me@mypc:~$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [i686-linux]
me@mypc:~$ gem -v
1.3.7
so, ok let's install rails:
me@mypc:~$ gem install rails
ERROR: Loading command: install (LoadError)
no such file to load -- zlib
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NameError)
uninitialized constant Gem::Commands::InstallCommand
:(
I've searched in google, forums, etc.. but I couldn't find a good
answer for my problem, so I'm here.
Thanks in advance for your time.
cheers!

Hi Hugo, thanks for your answer, but I'm using Ubuntu, so I don't have
dll's.
Thanks anyway.

hey gezope! I could solve my problem!
my mistake was don't make a "clean compilation" after install the zlib
library.
So thanks for your quick answer anyway, I'm on rails now :)

sure you install the dev headers.
Then go back to where you built Ruby, cd to ext/zlib, and run "ruby
extconf.rb; make; sudo make install".
If you're using the Debian package for Ruby, I think the zlib library
was broken out into its own package that you'll need to install.

for what I have installed, and the error I get when I try and run any
gem commands. Also as you can see I have zlib[devel] installed. Some one
mentioned something about the headers being installed with zlib??? I'm
not sure I know what that means...could someone enlighten me? Any help
appreciated...thanx!

Yes, I knew that. I was making the point that on Ubuntu it is zlib1
and zlib1g-dev in case it is relevant. I realise that it may not be
relevant on your OS.

so you do have Ruby1.9, Gem1.3.7 but only Rails version 2.3.5, now you
want to update, right? On Ubuntu try this:
"gem update rails"
If you have permission problems then "sudo gem update rails" except if
you have RVM installed, then don't use sudo when installing gem.
Then make a cleanup "gem cleanup"
Troubleshhot: "rails -v" should be 3<
Someone told me he only could solve his Zlib problem with RVM, because
it has a package for it:
http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/packages/zlib/
I really recommend to use RVM, because you can prevent later problems
also.
Let me know if you have further problems, good luck,
Zoli

'gem install rails' I get the zlib error below. I can't seem to install
any gems due to the zlib problem. I looked into rvm, but I can't see to
get that installed. I am using Fedora, so I used yum to install rvm, but
can't seem to get that working either. rvm doesn't seem to be in my
path, and I can find an executable for it in the .rvm folder. I'm going
to continue working on this, and will post back when I finally figure it
out. Thanx!

Did you make the changes to .bashrc (or whatever the equivalent in
Fedora) as described on the website after installing rvm? Until you
do that rvm is not available.

not applicable to fedora. For instance after installing I don't have a
/usr/local/rvm folder.

I don't know whether this might help -

through, because I'm not sure exactly what part of that tutorial fixed
the gem install. At any rate thanx so much for the link.

I have the same issue on CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503:
# gem install rails
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
undefined method `invoke_with_build_args' for nil:NilClass
==================
# gem -v
2.4.5
# yum install zlib-devel
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* epel: mirror.steadfast.net
Package zlib-devel-1.2.7-13.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest
version
Nothing to do
As show above, the zlib is installed, but run "gem install rails" again,
it still cannot load zlib.
Any one has the same issue ? How to fix this ?
Thanks,
Ben
