pcneuf:/home/mba/ror/ruby-1.8.6# gem install rails  
–include-dependencies  
DOESN’T WORK, I GET:  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
`gem\_original\_require’: no such file to load – zlib (LoadError)  
… etc …  
I found this subject in the forum, it migt be because of zlib (???)  
I compiled zlib and zlib-devel before ruby but no effect !  
Thank you for your help

(PS: I use Debian Sid, it could be one of the reason why !)

Try install the libzlib-ruby package (via apt-get or whatever you  
want). Debian likes splitting up the standard install of ruby into 3  
million little packages.
