Hello, I need your help please. I had a successful installation message but anything I try to install with gems I get this message:
luisflores@HAL-D510:~/Downloads/rubygems-1.8.6/bin$ sudo gem install rails
ERROR: Loading command: install (LoadError)

no such file to load -- zlib

ERROR: While executing gem ... (NameError)

uninitialized constant Gem::Commands::InstallCommand

luisflores@HAL-D510:~/Downloads/rubygems-1.8.6/bin$

I tried to reinstall gems several times but always get this message.
Thank you for your time.

   RubyGems requires zlib to work.

   Dunno how you build your installation, but please ensure first zlib development headers are installed and build Ruby again.

   Hello Luis, Gems is working now, I had Ruby 1.9.1 trying to work with the
   latest Gem distribution, I did build Ruby with 1.9.2 distribution as you
   suggested and it worked. I guess there was a conflict between the releases.
   Thanks again for your time.
