Trying to get Ruby 1.9.1 up and running with RVM on a fresh install(fedora).
So after doing rvm install 1.9.1, the rubygems error logs show that zlib can't be located
no such file to load -- zlib (LoadError)
However both the zlib runtime and development libraries are installed and up-to-date, So I'm kinda stumped on this one at the moment.
Any suggestions?
did you install zlib before installing 1.9.1 through rvm? if not, make sure to remove everything 1.9.1 from your ~/.rvm folder (so that it will be build from scratch).
install important packages:
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline5-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev
then install 1.9.1 again:
rvm install 1.9.1
watch for "compiling ...". this should take some time. if it doesn't, then 1.9.1 might still be cached in your ~/.rvm folder.
Use rvm to install zlib
http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/packages/zlib/
rvm package install zlib
rvm remove 1.9.1
rvm install 1.9.1 -C --with-zlib-dir=$rvm_path/usr
When I try that, it prints:
Usage: 'rvm package {install,uninstall} {openssl,zlib,readline,iconv,ncurses}'
Since you are using Fedora try running:
yum install zlib-devel.i686
And then try installing ruby 1.9.1 using RVM
rvm install 1.9.1
