Anyone know what's going wrong?

col 31 is at the end of that line. What's that blank space there?
BTW. Is rubyzip a pure Ruby lib or does it use a backend of some sort?

Maybe you ran into this problem: http://onestepback.org/index.cgi/Tech/Ruby/DeleteYourCache.red

i ran into this with ruby 1.8.2 but 1.8.4 worked fine installing it!
(tested with rubygems 8.whatever-last-versio and 9.0) under 1.8.2.
as soon as i put 1.8.4 on, the gem installed no problems.

Thanks I tried that, but it's still giving me the same damn error.

I'm not sure about rubyzip, but would guess that it needs zlib. Did you
build ruby? If you did, was zlib uncommented out in <ruby-source>/ext/Setup
and did you have the following packages (these are from kubuntu)
zlib1g
zlib1g-dev
I had to install these packages before ruby could be build to include zlib.
If you didn't build, probably need:
libzip-ruby1.8 - a ruby module for reading and writing zip files
good luck,
andy

I never did get it working, and I'm kind of locked into 1.8.2 as I'm
using it on all my Debian production servers 
Anyone know a good way to upgrade to 1.8.4 when installed from apt-get?

Odd. I just tried installing the gem myself (I'm the author) on an older 1.8.2 system and got the same error. I have no clue what the problem is, but now I've rebuild the gem on the 1.8.2 system and uploaded it to sourceforge.
Sorry about the inconvenience

subimage, any luck with this? I'm getting the same thing, on a WinXP
box. I tried clearing the cache, too, and still no luck...

I don't know of a way to upgrade on Debian, but I did just learn of package
called checkinstall. Basically:
tar zxvf ruby-1.8.4.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.8.4
./configure
make
checkinstall
I believe this makes Debian "aware" of the custom build by creating a .deb
file and installing it for you. Sorry, I don't know much more about the
details. We just used this process and it worked well.
Before we did this we removed any ruby related packages.
Maybe some others can point to the pros/cons of this approach?

Well, you might just install 1.8.4 into someplace like
/opt/ruby-1.8.4, and then use the equivs package to convince apt that
you indeed do have Ruby installed and don't need the default Ruby
available via apt-get.
Or you might just 'apt-get remove' everything Ruby on your system and
then manually install Ruby from source. Add RubyGems, and then 'gem
install' the rest of the stuff you need. Although this is a manual
process, it's pretty quick, so may be an option for you if you don't
have too many servers to worry about.

and rubyforge so you should be able to get it with gem install rubyzip.
