Yesterday I installed Ruby 1.9.0 . Today I can’t install anything using  
RubyGems. I’m getting error about file that don’t exist for Gems but it  
exist.

Could I ask you from where you got your Ruby 1.9.0 windows build?

It looks like the zlib.so is not valid for that version of ruby or is  
not a share object/dll to be loaded by ruby.

Another question, did you unpack 1.9.0 over a 1.8.6 installation? I  
hope you didn’t 🙂

Need more information to be helpful, sorry.
