I made the mistake of trying to upgrade to 1.8.4 from 1.8.2 and had
intended
to upgrade to rails 1.1. I have now completely borked my ruby gems
installation. After installing ruby I get the following error when
trying to
execute gem:
/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’

The “/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in
`require__': no such file to load – zlib (LoadError)” entry seems to be
trying to “require__ path” at line 21 of custom_require.rb line 21.
Can anyone help me get my rails back? I swear I’ll never try to upgrade
again…

You don’t appear to have ruby’s zlib module installed. You can find
out by doing:
$ irb
rirb(main):001:0> require ‘zlib’
=> true
You will probably see an error instead of “true”. Did you install
Ruby from source?

Chad - your presence on the list usually signifies another update to
Recipes…is that forthcoming RSN?
I haven’t updated my pdf from the last update and I was kind of waiting
for the next update because I am rapidly approaching the moment where I
will have time and my understanding of rails has improved to the point
that I might be able to better grok the things in your book.

Chad,
Thank you for the information. Yes, I did install ruby from source
(v1.8.4)
on Ubuntu 5.10. You are correct about zlib. I got the following message:
stuart@kubuntu:~$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require ‘zlib’
LoadError: no such file to load – zlib
from (irb):1:in `require’
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> exit
Zlib was installed at one time but it is now either among the absentees
or
somehow munged beyond repair. I’ll reinstall zlib and see where that
gets
me.
I can’t believe I actually got help from Chad F…how cool is
that?

not sure what OS you’re on but make sure you have installed the
zlib-devel in
addition to zlib package if it’s appropriate for you - i had this exact
issue
a while back
may have to reinstall gems too, i can’t remember sorry

FYI If you were missing zlib, you are likely missing readline dev
stuff as well – this will be an issue if you like to use console/irb.
I went through similar issues on ubuntu after upgrading ruby.

Thanks Scott and Patrick as well. I re-installed zlib and zlib-devel and
re-compiled ruby and I was able to setup rubygems. Thanks again.
Patrick, can you explain a little more about the readline dev stuff?
What
packages do I need for Ubuntu? Should I install the readline dev stuff
and
then re-compile ruby again so it will “pick up” the readline dev libs?
