Hello Mark,

there was an error:
the line should be:
root@sunny:~# ruby ruby extconf.rb –with-zlib-include=/usr/include –with-zlib-lib=/usr/lib

It just sets the lib and header path for the zlib extension.
Normally if you use apt-get you should already have this extension delivered with your ruby package. In my case, i compiled Ruby myself. The gem installer uses the zlib extension so i had to compile this extension manually.

Thanks for posting that. I found your site when I googled for the error. I had the same issue.
can you tell me exactly what your command did?
root@sunny:~# ruby extconf.rb ruby extconf.rb –with-zlib-include=/usr/include –with-zlib-lib=/usr/lib

thanks
Mark
