Error Installing Gems: Cannot Load Such File - Zlib

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.

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 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

Thanks to all of you, My problem solved via this:

I hope you will find this command useful.
