Hi guys,
I run into the same problem which was widely discussed. When I tried to
install ruby gems I got the following:
ruby setup.rb
./lib/rubygems/spec_fetcher.rb:1:in `require’: no such file to load –
zlib (LoadError)
from ./lib/rubygems/spec_fetcher.rb:1
I googled a lot of solutions but could not manage to make them working
so far. First of all I looked for zlib. It seems to be installed. At
least here what I have:
zlib 1.2.3 zlib
zlib.zlib-RUN
zlib.zlib-RUN: /usr/local/doc/zlib/ChangeLog
zlib.zlib-RUN: /usr/local/doc/zlib/HPUX.Install
zlib.zlib-RUN: /usr/local/doc/zlib/README
zlib.zlib-RUN: /usr/local/include/zconf.h
zlib.zlib-RUN: /usr/local/include/zlib.h
zlib.zlib-RUN: /usr/local/lib/hpux32/libz.a
zlib.zlib-RUN: /usr/local/lib/hpux32/libz.so
zlib.zlib-RUN: /usr/local/man/man3/zlib.3
Then I tried to rebuild Ruby:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-zlib-include=/usr/local/include
–with-zlib-lib=/usr/local/lib/hpux32
make
…
compiling tk/tkutil
compiling win32ole
compiling zlib
making ruby
make[1]: Entering directory /home/denisb/tmp/atf_ruby/ruby-1.8.7-p22' gcc -g -O2 -DRUBY_EXPORT -L. -Wl,-E main.o -lruby-static -ldld -ldl -lm -o ruby make[1]: Leaving directory/home/denisb/tmp/atf_ruby/ruby-1.8.7-p22’
I checked /ext/zlib no compiled lib there. Tried to compile zlib here:
ruby extconf.rb --with-zlib-include=/usr/local/include
–with-zlib-lib=/usr/local/lib/hpux32
checking for deflateReset() in -lz… no
checking for deflateReset() in -llibz… no
checking for deflateReset() in -lzlib1… no
checking for deflateReset() in -lzlib… no
checking for deflateReset() in -lzdll… no
I run out of idea what I can try else.
I have read that it is needed to install zlib devel package but I could
not find package for HP-UX.
Can you please suggest anything?
Best regards,
Denis
