Very helpful. As Daniel says, you do need to install zlib prior to building ruby. Also, I found that the zlib-devel is required.

Thanks for this post. I needed to duplicate a production environment of an old site and ran into this issue. Your instructions worked perfectly.

Nice work! I didn’t think it was going to work, because I had already installed rubygems, and didn’t know how to uninstall, but all I had to do was install it again, and it worked great! Thank you!
