 There's no zlib module included with ruby 1.8.7, and yet rubygems expects
 it to be there. Without the zlib ruby module, rubygems will not work.

 For example, running:
 {{{
  gem list
 }}}
 produces this:
 {{{

 `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- zlib (LoadError)

 on my system. Is there something I'm missing, or should there be an 'rb-
 zlib' port?

 I run Mac OS X 10.6.2.
