Hello,

I can’t figure how I to install ruby-xslt (downloaded from this page:  
[http://www.rubyfr.net/](http://www.rubyfr.net/)).

I am using MS Windows, ruby is installed using the 1-click installer.

When I decompress the archive, i can see there is a file named  
extconf.rb.  
I am a newbie, but I suppose this extconf.rb file has to be used to  
install ?

When I launch extconf.rb, I get the following message:

Code:

checking for inflate() in z.lib… no extconf failure: need zlib

I have no clue what I should do to resolve this problem.  
XSLT functionnalities are very important for me so any help would be  
greatly appreciated.
