I downloaded ruby-zlib-0.5.1.tar.gz from RAA but could not
find any documentation on how to install it on Windows.
I tried the usual unzip, tar and then:
C:\install> ruby extconf.rb
checking for deflateReset() in -lz… no
I know I am missing some steps.
Please help.
TIA,

That error means “I tried to find libz.so or libz.a, and I couldn’t”. So
ruby-libz is a wrapper around the C library, and you have to install the C
library first.
There is an unofficial Windows DLL version available from
or if you are under cygwin you could compile your own from source from
http://www.gzip.org/zlib

0.5.1 doesn’t support Windows. Try 0.6.0.

I got 0.5.1 from RAA which pointed me to:
http://www.blue.sky.or.jp/atelier/ruby/
I did not see 0.6.0 there … should I be looking somewhere else?
Or it is not yet released and you are suggesting that I wait till it out ?

It’s only in “rough”, you can get it via CVS:
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.ruby-lang.org:/src co rough/ext/zlib
or download zip archive from:
http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/rough/ext/zlib/zlib.zip?tarball=1
