I'm attempting to build rubygems on AIX. It's failing with:

/afs/austin/u/mattlaw/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__': No such file to load -- zlib (LoadError)
         from /afs/austin/u/mattlaw/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require'
