Cannot Load Such File - Zlib Even After Using Rvm Pkg Install Zlib

cannot load such file -- zlib even after using rvm pkg install zlib

I ended up installing zlib from apt-get and then reinstalling ruby to not use the rvm directory for zlib.

Here's how do:

$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
$ rvm reinstall 1.9.3

[Edit] As commenter @chrisfinne mentions, on CentOS/RedHat based systems:

$ sudo yum install zlib-devel
$ rvm reinstall 1.9.3

Error installing gems: cannot load such file -- zlib

The following worked for me:

brew install homebrew/dupes/zlib
rvm reinstall 2.2.2 --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.8

Hope this helps anyone else who runs into it.

Error in ruby: cannot load such file -- zlib

You should not install readline / zlib on ubuntu, follow this steps:

rvm get head
rvm pkg remove
rvm requirements run force
rvm reinstall 1.9.3-p374

make sure to include output of the installation process if this fails, also include all mentioned log files

rvm, zlib and ruby not working even after following instructions

please use the "quick fix" from here https://rvm.io/packages/zlib/

you have to ignore the rest of instructions, they are intended for systems that do not support packages (like osx)

Can't rvm pkg install zlib

Try to install the packages from the Ubuntu apt repos.

sudo apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dev

Remember to uninstall 1.9.3 again after you install these.
