gems on AIX

[Matt Lawrence]

I'm attempting to build rubygems on AIX. It's failing with:

/afs/austin/u/mattlaw/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in
`require__': No such file to load -- zlib (LoadError)

Hi,

`require__': No such file to load -- zlib (LoadError)
Help?

If I remember correctly, you have to compile ruby with the zlib extension=
,
which fails if you don't have zlib libs in your lib path.
maybe www.zlib.net...
