Cannot install ruby gem 'libxml-ruby'

I am having trouble installing the ruby gem 'libxml-ruby'. The output,
which I am struggling to understand, is below. It appears that I
require some 'dependencies', which is confusing because I thought
RubyGems was supposed to deal with dependencies. In addition, zlib is
part of the standard library so I don't understand why I 'need zlib'
either.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
