I have compiled and installed ruby 1.8.2preview3 on a new laptop.
On trying to install rubygems 0.8.1 (ruby install.rb) I get an error
finding the file zlib at the end of the installation. I tried both
commenting and uncommenting the #zlib line in the ext/Setup file
during the compilation of ruby 1.8.2. From the console:
---
As of RubyGems 0.8.0, library stubs are no longer needed.
Searching $LOAD_PATH for stubs to optionally delete (may take a while)...
...done.
No library stubs found.

Any ideas? I'm going to Sun's Java Tech Days in NYC Tue and Wed, would
be nice to show Ruby to people, if only I could get gems installed ...
Cheers,
