Ruby

I’m attempting to build rubygems on AIX. It’s failing with:

/afs/austin/u/mattlaw/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in

you need to install the prerequisite ‘zlib’ library first

If I remember correctly, you have to compile ruby with the zlib

which fails if you don’t have zlib libs in your lib path.
