zlib.so (LoadError

Michael Madrid

12/17/2008 10:52:00 PM

I'm getting the error below when trying to install ruby gems on Windows
Vista.
My Ruby version is 1.8.7 and gems 1.3.1. I installed Ruby from the zip
file ruby-1.8.7-i386-mswin32.zip and gems by running ruby setup.rb.

The zlib.so file is in the directory so I don't know why it can't find
it. Help appreciated.

programs/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32/zlib.so: 126: The specified
module could not be found. -

Are you compiling from source? I've never tried to get Ruby running
under Vista besides the One-Click Installer, but on Linux, the zlib
errors usually come up when I don't have the development libraries
installed.

Hello,

You need the zlib.dll.

1. http://www... and download compiled DLL, version 1.2.3
2. Copy downloaded zlib1.dll into
C:\ruby-1.8.7-i386-mswin32\bin\zlib.dll
Notice that the name changes from zlib1.dll to zlib.dll

Tks Alex.

I just copied the zlib1.dll to zlib.dll and it seems this works too.
