Gem Install Error

Question

When trying to run gem install rake bundler I get the following error

rvmsudo gem install rake bundler
ERROR:  Loading command: install (LoadError)
cannot load such file -- zlib
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (NameError)
uninitialized constant Gem::Commands::InstallCommand

What might be causing this problem and how do I fix it?

OS: Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit

Sounds like your missing the zlib package.

try:

rvm pkg install zlib

then uninstall and reinstall your gem version with rvm

Tried, while it needed installed, I still get the same error. – awmusic12635 Feb 28 '12 at 03:26
If the command doesn't work try: `rvm pkg install zlib --verify-downloads 1` – loopasam Jan 15 '13 at 22:54
