How do I get ruby-zlib-0.6.0 working on OS X

I need to use the zlib module, but when I put this code in:

require ‘zlib’

class SController < ApplicationController
def zip
s = “Hello”
defl = Deflate.new
deflated = defl.deflate(s)
render :inline => %{ #{deflated} }
end
end

I got following message:

NameError in SController#zip

uninitialized constant Deflate

This error occured while loading the following files:
deflate.rb

I guess this is because zlib is not correctly installed. Here is my
questions:

  1. Should zlib be part of the standard ruby install that comes with
    ruby on rail?
  2. Is ruby-zlib-0.6.0 the latest stable version?
  3. How can I add zlib to my ror installation on OS X? I am currently
    running rails 1.1.2.

I am still new to rails and ruby. Your help is greatly appreciated.
